From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

James Saxon was a distinctive British character actor whose career was all too brief. He was born on 6 April 1954 in Brooklyn, New York, USA and died on 2 July 2003 in Chichester, England, UK of a heart attack. Despite his American birth, he was clearly a British actor, often playing aristocrats or middle class characters.

Having trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he made a career on screen with leading parts in television series such as the BBC adaptation of Vanity Fair (1987), the ITV comedy Brass (1982), the remake of Poldark (1996), Time Riders (1991) and Brush Strokes (1986).

His occasional guest appearances included Jonathan Creek {2001), Murder Most Horrid (1994), Lovejoy (1993), A Touch of Frost {1994), Boon (1990) and Oscar Botcherby in the 1985 Doctor Who story The Two Doctors, alongside both Colin Baker and Patrick Troughton.

James Saxon’s film appearances were less numerous, though his rich tones brought to life many audio adaptations, including some of the works of P.G. Wodehouse.
