Executive summary: Jason King

Refined, very British actor, best known as the eponymous novelist and adventurer on the television series Jason King. His other memorable roles included the ill-fated debunker of superstition in the horror classic Burn, Witch, Burn (also known as Night of the Eagle), and numerous portrayals of delightfully despicable guest villains on television series from the 1960s to the '80s.

[1] Wyngarde gave his birthday as 23 August 1933, which is false.

[2] Donald Spoto, "Alan Bates's secret gay affair with ice skater John Curry", Mail Online, 19 May 2007: While the article primarily regards Bates' relationship with Curry, it also discusses Wyngarde: "His [Bates'] relationship with Wyngarde lasted a decade."
