Actor -- via the Guardian. At once one of the most versatile and underrated of 20th century British actors. He could do Shakespeare and farce, sitcoms and adventure films. He could write, and performed in radio as well. I particularly like him in the 1963 RSC "Wars of the Roses" as York. His Malvolio was hilarious; and he was the last white actor to "black up" as Othello.
