Anthony Nicholls

British actor Anthony Nicholls made the portraying of distinguished government officials a way of life in his films. Following extensive stage activity, Nicholls began working in movies on a regular basis with 1947's The Laughing Lady. Most American audiences first saw Nicholls in the company of Ronald Reagan, Richard Todd and Patricia Neal in The Hasty Heart (1949). Active in films until the early '70s (including the 1966 Oscar winner A Man For All Seasons), Anthony Nicholls was also seen in the role of W. I. Tremayne, the overseer of three superpowered secret agents on the 1968 British TV adventure series The Champions.
