Nigel Davenport Movies
A character player even in youth, British actor Nigel Davenport has spent nearly forty years in briskly businesslike stage, screen and TV roles. He made his film debut as the police sergeant in Michael Powell's notorious
Peeping Tom (1959). Among his many colorful screen characterizations were the Duke of Norfolk in
A Man For All Seasons (1966), Bothwell in
Mary Queen of Scots (1971), Van Helsing in the 1973 Frank Langella version of
Dracula and Lord Birkenbed in the Oscar-winning
Chariots of Fire. Nigel Davenport's TV credits include the miniseries Prince Regent (1979, as King George III), and
Masada (1981). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
