But the BBC's obituary has him unhyphenated, and the BBC is also NEVER EVER wrong.
IMDB also has him unhyphenated.
As the BBC paid for his services on numerous occasions and thus saw what he called himself on invoices, and IMDB is fuelled by obsessive geeks, I'm going with unhyphenated
I've also discovered from Wikipedia that he had a role in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. I saw that in the cinema, and have it on DVD, but the DVD is still in its wrapper. I'll watch it soon and see if he's unhyphenated there.
I'll also check to see if the omission of the Oxford comma in the title is Peter Greenaway's fault, or just Wikipedia againComment

(The academic is played by Roger Lloyd-Pack, of blessed memory.)

All the rom code lived in the ASIC.
Quite clever really.Comment

Originally posted by Bunk View PostNot necessarily. Actors often get credited as all sorts of weird and wonderful versions of their name, especially if it's early in their career. Sometimes it's because the actor changes his mind (eg. Laurence/Larry Fishburne), sometimes it's because the filmmakers don't give a tulip about a minor actor.
As I mentioned to dear old Larry, getting the knighthood & then being elevated to the peerage made things awfully complicated.Comment
