He had a long career in many iconic British shows.People might remember him best in America as the reluctant Emperor Tiberius in I, Claudius; as well as some roles in James Bond films, such as Sir Hilary Bray who was dubbed over George Lazenby's Bond for a good chunk of the On Her Majesty's Secret Service film.

Oh, dear. That's a shame. My Mom loved Wexford.

Wow, we just finished watching his eps. of 'I, Claudius' this week.

 

[Australis]

A shame. Good actor. Great in Claudius.

Interviewed him once (at, appropriately enough, the Sherlock Holmes on Baker Street). Really pleasant and down to Earth.

The first 'New number 2' in The Prisoner. He is the first to tell the Prisoner that he will be known as number 6 in the first episode 'Arival'.
Great actor!

RIP Mr Baker. I met him once when he came to my office to have his photo taken. Afterwards, he wanted to meet all of the behind the scenes staff, which I thought was really nice of him.

That's right! I'd forgotten about that. I kept thinking there was something else from which I recognized him.
