He made his television debut in 1968, and appeared in many dramatic roles, becoming a familiar face as a result of parts in films such as A Clockwork Orange, Waterloo, Mountains of the Moon and The Wicked Lady
, as well as television series including Yes, Minister, Blake's 7, Private Schulz, Doctor Who: The Visitation and Middlemarch. His stage roles include being a member of the original London cast of The Phantom of the Opera.
