![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Screenwriter, Actor Born: 1901 in Malaya Death: February 24, 1976 in England Biography:Breaking into show business at 16 as the assistant to a "drunken magician" British character actor "Peter Madden" held down jobs ranging from race-car driver to stand-up comedian before settling into acting. He was frequently cast as slightly tattered politicians, as witness "Nothing but the Best" (1964) and "Dr. Zhivago" (1965). His deadpan portrayal of a Tibetan lama was one of the highlights of the otherwise patchy Hope-"Crosby" vehicle "Road to Hong Kong" (1962). Espionage fans will remember Peter Madden as Hobbs, John Drake's ("Patrick McGoohan") immediate superior, on the mid-1960s TVer Secret Agent. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
