Producer, Composer (Music Score), Actor Born: March 1, 1944 in London, England, UK Biography:Together with Pete Townshend and Jon Entwhistle, London-born singer/guitarist Roger Daltrey was one of the founding members of the British hard-rock group The Who. While Townsend was at first the head man of the group, Daltrey quickly emerged as the lead singer, with a particular gift for all-stops-out "soul" interpretations. Daltrey assumed the central role of the deaf/dumb/blind pinball wizard in The Who's rock opera "Tommy" when the piece was adapted for film by director Ken Russell in 1975. He then portrayed a very revisionist Franz Liszt (bare-bottom scenes and all) in Russell's outrageous biopic "Lisztomania" (1975). Roger Daltry has continued accepting occasional film roles into the 1990s, and was also co-producer of the 1980 film "McVicar". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
