British actor Peter Wyngarde dies at 90

Didn't realise he was still alive! Remember him as Jason King in the 70's. Very much a style icon of the time. RIP.

Jason King was utterly fabulous, 'It's too early for a coffee, I'll have a Scotch instead'. Wyngarde was a great actor, he appeared in many British films and TV programmes. He also made one of weirdest and most extraordinary albums ever.

Take his early biographical info with a pinch of salt. His name, date and place of birth varies wildly and he was very secretive about his early life. We do know he was born Cyril Goldblat and as a youth was interred in a camp in Singapore during the Japanese occupation. JG Ballard was in the same camp and mentions him in his autobiography.

I had completely forgotten about him! Liked him a lot in the Avengers and other shows. Sounds like he had a full and fun life. RIP.

Goodbye, General Klytus.

Sideburns, big moustache, bigger hair and even bigger flaired trousers. A man of style!

Before my time but love watching my Father's Jason King DVD's.
