After two years at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he went on to a long, successful and continuing career as an actor, and is best known for taking over the part of Simon Templar - The Saint - from Roger Moore. He also appeared in Upstairs Downstairs, I, Claudius, and many other television productions. He has performed in the West End many times and has appeared in a number of films, most of them quite dreadful. His play A Slight Hangover was staged in the UK, and he has published two novels - Loose Chippings and The Polkerton Giant.
