Personal Quote:

A journalist once asked me what I would like my epitaph to be and I said I think I would like it to be 'He did very little harm'. And that's not easy -- most people seem to me to do a great deal of harm. If I could be remembered as having done very little, that would suit me. See more »

Trivia:

First TV lead was to be in a play called 'On Easy Terms' for Rediffusion TV, written by Ken Taylor and directed by Tania Lieven. He was to play an amorous door-to-door salesman. However the production was cancelled during rehearsals, near the end of Rediffusion's tenure. The play was taken by Belgian TV and made as Facilités de payement. See more »
