Sharpe's Peril (2008)

5 Photos
He may not be a true household name, but Michael Cochrane's face is a familiar one to British Television viewers.

Cochrane's resume is an impressive one. He has starred in almost every long-running mainstream British television show since the 1970s.

Versatile and balanced, understated and elegant, this actor has always been somewhat typecast as upper-class businessmen or members of the British gentry. He has a menacing on-screen presence in villainous roles.

Cochrane remains a busy and sought-after actor on stage, screen, and indeed radio.
