I think he was an English stage actor, wasn’t he? I remember seeing him playing a Roman emperor in some bizarre B-movie or other. Hold on…

Huh. Sad to hear he’s dead. ☹ Worked for Olivier, though; impressive.

Screen caps look way gayer than I recall, but really I should’ve expected that. (warning: some of the screen caps linked elsewhere on that site are NSFW)
