British actor best remembered for roles in films such as The Curse of Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Oblong Box, The Devil Rides Out, The Wicker Man, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Three Musketeers and film franchise such as the Dracula movies by Hammer Studios, The Lord of the Rings, and the Star Wars prequels. In his early entries in the Spotlight Casting directory he was listed as standing 6ft 3 before changing to 6ft 4. He once told Cinescape magazine – on filming Sleepy Hollow – “They’re not going to have me in the same scene standing up. I’m 6’4!, and they are 5′ 6′ or something like that; they’re just not going to have it. I don’t blame them”. In his book Tall, Dark and Gruesome he says “Dr No at 6ft 6 tops me by a couple of inches.” I saw him up close in October 2006 and thought he looked nearly 6ft 3.
