	Actors - Christopher Benjamin

Christopher Benjamin is a British actor, born 27 December 1934 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England.

He is well known for his roles in some of the UK's biggest cult television programmes. This included playing the same character in two Patrick McGoohan dramas, fuelling speculation that they are properly linked.

Predominantly a theatre actor, he has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company. His build and demeanour have, over time, lent themselves particularly to portraying characters in historical drama.
