Trivia

He has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

He was on the shortlist for "Toby" (played by Windsor Davies ) in "Doctor Who" : The Evil of the Daleks.

Played the same character (Potter) in "Danger Man" and "The Prisoner" , both of which starred Patrick McGoohan. This lends credence to the belief that McGoohans "Danger Man" and "Danger Man" character, John Drake, is the same person as Number Six, the character he later portrayed in "The Prisoner" although McGoohan, who was also the co-creator, producer and frequent writer of the later series, claims that this was never his intention.

One of only 31 performers to have acted in both the 20th Century Doctor Who TV series and the 21st Century Doctor Who TV series.

Served in the Royal Air Force.

On the shortlist for the guest role of Prof Marcus Scarman in Doctor Who: Pyramids of Mars. Bernard Archard won the role.
