MINI BIO:

Smooth, devious-looking British actor whose aristocratic charmers were often rotten to the core. When his leading-man career fell away in the fifties, there was a failed suicide bid, but he came back to play a series of sometimes dramatic, sometimes comic characters whose credentials were usually as fake as their smile and old school tie. Married/divorced actress Joan Schofield. Died from cirrhosis of the liver.
