Terence Morgan est un Acteur Britannique né le 9 décembre 1921 à Londres (Royaume-uni)
Terence Ivor Grant Morgan (8 December 1921 – 25 August 2005) was an English actor in theatre, cinema and television. He was the nephew of British character actor Verne Morgan. He played many "villain" roles in British film but is probably best remembered for his starring role in the TV historical adventure series Sir Francis Drake.
Terence Morgan was born in Lewisham, London, and started work as a shipping clerk at Lloyd's of London before winning a scholarship to RADA. After training at RADA, Morgan began as a repertory theatre actor. His career was interrupted by two years in the army in World War II before he was invalided out. In 1948 he joined the Old Vic Company alongside Laurence Olivier, and played the role of Laertes in the 1948 film of Hamlet. He was the first actor in such a role to get fan mail from teenage girls.
In his third role he played a support to Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo in Captain Horatio Hornblower in 1951. In Mandy (1952) he played the insensitive father of a deaf girl and in Encore in 1951 he played a cad risking the life of his wife. In 1953 he again played a villain in Turn the Key Softly as a crook who gets his girlfriend a prison sentence for helping him in a burglary.
More nasty roles quickly followed with Always a Bride (1953) where he played a Treasury Investigator who turns bad as well as Forbidden Cargo in 1954 as a smuggler and Tread Softly Stranger (1958) where he is an embezzler. Two films he made in 1955 saw him cast in more positive roles—in March Hare he played an impoverished aristocrat riding a horse for the Derby, and in the espionage melodrama They Can't Hang Me he starred as a dapper Special Branch officer charged with discovering the identity of an enemy agent. One of his nastiest roles was in 1959, The Shakedown, when he played a pornographer and blackmailer. 1960 saw him as a petty thief in Piccadilly Third Stop.
Morgan's biggest screen success came when he landed the title role in the ITV series Sir Francis Drake, but parts dried up after that as he was no longer seen as "the bad guy".
He appeared in 20 films; other notable roles included the villainous brother of the mummy (Rameses VIII) in Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964) and the 1967 shocker The Penthouse where he is an estate agent who is forced to watch as his girlfriend is abused by thugs. The Lifetaker in 1976 had him back as the bad guy again where as a wealthy business man he plans ritualistic revenge on his wife and her lover. In 1986 he appeared in a series, King and Castle and in 1993, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. As roles dried up, Morgan bought a small hotel in Hove, Sussex, and ran that for some years before becoming a property developer.

Rôle Ray Thompson
Note56%
À Londres, les jeunes auteurs-compositeurs Ray Thompson et Ken Millar, en mal de succès, vivotent dans leur petit studio, harcelés par leur logeuse pour retards de loyer. Ils font la connaissance de la Française Georgie Dubois, 20 ans, leur voisine de l'immeuble d'en face, au moment où on vient saisir leur piano. Georgie, chanteuse débutante, passe une audition en interprétant une de leurs chansons, When You Came Along, et elle est engagée dans l'orchestre de Ted Heath qui doit assurer la prochaine Royal Variety Performance . Mais contrairement aux rêves des deux musiciens, les royalties récoltées sont bien maigres... Ken Millar en veut davantage en provoquant l'événement : la musique dissonante sortie d'un vieux disque voilé, et oublié, lui donne l'idée de copier (à l'envers) cette musique sur bande magnétique et de la présenter à son éditeur Bert Fielding comme une « œuvre d'avant-garde » qu'il baptise City of Souls, composée par un certain « Rimsikoff ». La tortueuse partition, jouée jusqu'à l'épuisement par The London Concerto Orchestra au Royal Albert Hall, laisse le public silencieux et dubitatif, mais, applaudi avec ferveur par le snobinard critique musical Mervyn Wade, le concert est finalement ovationné. Tous les professionnels veulent alors rencontrer le génial Rimsikoff tandis que Georgie, qui a incidemment découvert le pot aux roses, va s'employer à arranger les affaires de ses deux copains avec l'aide de Ted Heath.
