Peter Paul Wyngarde (born Cyril Goldbert; circa 1926 or 1927 – 15 January 2018), until 1945 called Cyril Louis Goldbert, was a British actor who spent his early life in the Far East. He had a successful career on stage from the mid-1940s and slowly gained screen roles, especially in television in the 1950s and 1960s, before becoming well known for portraying the character of Jason King in the television series Department S (1969) and Jason King (1971). His acting career came to an end in the 1990s, but he had occasional appearances in the 21st century. Wyngarde's flamboyant dress sense and stylish performances led to his becoming a style icon in Britain and elsewhere in the early 1970s. Various details of Wyngarde's early and personal life, including his place and date of birth, birth name, family and ethnic background, and sexual orientation, have been disputed. (Via Wikipedia)
