| Max Adrian (1 November 1903 - 19 January 1973) was an acclaimed actor of the middle of the twentieth century. He was born in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. He was born simply Max Bor, and is sometimes credited as Max Cavendish. Firstly a stage actor, he was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for some years. In the late 1960s, Max Adrian toured as George Bernard Shaw in the one-man presentation By George and originated the role of Pangloss in Bernstein's Candide. His first film was in 1934. He appeared in the acclaimed films The Boy Friend (1971); The Devils (1971); The Music Lovers (1970); and was the Dauphin in the Laurence Olivier production of Henry V {1944). His most notable television role was as Senator Ludicrus Sextus in the first season of Up Pompeii! (1969). Other roles included Fagin the 1962 dramatisation of Oliver Twist, and parts in Adam Adamant Lives!, and Perry Mason. Max Adrian also appeared in the Doctor Who story The Myth Makers as King Priam, but reputedly had a very poor relationship with the star, William Hartnell, who disapproved of his homosexuality. Max Adrian's style of acting was very camp, something rare in the early days of film and television.
