Christopher Neame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Neame (born September 12, 1947) is a London-born actor, best known to television viewers for his roles in two 1970s BBC dramas dealing with the Second World War - Lieutenant Dick Player in Colditz and Flight Lieutenant John Curtis in Secret Army.
Neame played the villain Skagra in the unfinished Doctor Who serial Shada. His film credits include appearances in the Hammer Horror film Dracula AD 1972, the James Bond film Licence to Kill, and Ghostbusters II.
He is also known to have played the Dark Jedi Jerec in the Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.
Neame now resides in the United States, where he has made frequent appearances in American television including a two-part story of Star Trek: Enterprise.
He is notable as being one of only nine actors to appear in both the Star Trek and Doctor Who franchises. The others are Simon Pegg, Daphne Ashbrook, Maurice Roëves, Guy Siner, Olaf Pooley, John Franklyn-Robbins, Barrie Ingham and Alan Dale. (Gregg Palmer also appeared in both franchises but his role in Star Trek went uncredited.)
This actor should not be confused with another Christopher Neame who is an author, producer, lyricist and screenwriter currently living in the South of France and who is the son of Ronald Neame.
