MINI BIO:

Fair-haired, heavily-built British stage actor hardly seen in films until the 1970s, when he played a string of characters who often had various shades of wickedness beneath a florid complexion and a beaming smile. But the stage gave him his biggest hit - as Peron in the London production of Evita. In the late 1980s and early 1900s, he mixed scene-stealing character roles with some really nasty villains. His hearty tones are frequently used for narrations, voice-overs, and commercials.
