Terence J. Alexander (born 11 March 1923) is an English film and television actor. He is best known for his role as Charlie Hungerford in the British TV drama Bergerac.
He was born in London, the son of a doctor, and grew up in Yorkshire. Alexander started acting in the theatre at the age of 16. He is probably best remembered as Charlie Hungerford from the detective series Bergerac, though he was also very prominent in the 1960s BBC adaptation of The Forsyte Saga. One of his early roles was in the children's series Garry Halliday.
He has appeared in many other film and television roles including three appearances in different roles in The Avengers; Terry and June (1979-1980); Behind the Screen (1981-1982); the 1985 Doctor Who serial The Mark of the Rani; and The New Statesman (1987). On radio he starred as The Toff in the BBC radio adaptation of the John Creasey novels. He appeared in many episodes of Bergerac from 1981 to 1991.
Alexander has now retired from acting and lives in London with his second wife, the actress Jane Downs.
