He worked on several British TV series of the 1960s and 1970s, including the lead in the first series of ''The Avengers'' and ''The Lotus Eaters.'' He was nominated for two BAFTA Awards for his film work: Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles for ''Live Now, Pay Later'' (1962) and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for ''Get Carter'' (1971).

His other notable film appearances included ''The Hill'' (1965), ''Repulsion'' (also 1965), ''Doppelgänger'' (1969), ''Tales from The Crypt'' (1972), ''Theatre of Blood'' (1973), and ''The Passenger'' (1975). The latter part of his career was tempered by personal and financial issues, which led him to declare bankruptcy in 1978. Provided by Wikipedia
