Actor

The Resume

    (August 23, 1928- )
    Born in Marseilles, France
    Born Cyril Goldbert (English father, French mother)
    Appeared on ‘Department S (1969)’ and ‘Jason King (1971)’
    Appeared in ‘Flash Gordon (1980)’

Why he might be annoying:

    His middle name? Paul — as in Peter Paul.
    Dear God, that porno moustache!
    Since his father worked for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, his childhood was nomadic.
    An act of gross indecency (between men) at the Gloucester bus station’s little boys’ room (1975) led to a 75p fine. He called it a ‘mental aberration.’
    In the new millennium, he would become bald and have a salt-and-pepper beard.

Why he might not be annoying:

    When the Japanese Army took over the Shanghai settlement (the day after Pearl Harbor), he – being a British citizen – went on to intern in a civilian camp.
    There aren’t too many British TV series of the 1960s – particularly in the espionage genre – on which he didn’t guest.
    Although it was well-known in acting circles, the general public didn’t know of his homosexuality for years.
    He put out an unconventional spoken-word album that, like much of his television work, achieved cult status decades later.
    His signature ladykiller character predated Barney Stinson by decades.
