British actor

Nigel Green is one of those actors who appeared in some 60s movies and you see and know the face but you can never get the name. If you wonder about him at all then you might ask yourself whatever happened to him.

He didn't take the well-travelled route of alot of his generation of actors and move into British TV when the film roles dried up. No odd appearance in The Bill or as Dirty Den's upper class didn't know he had Dad role for Green.

That was because he died tragically before he was 50. And dying relatively young meant he never became a better known name. I suppose dying would stop the roles coming in though it hasn't stopped Leslie Crantham from continuing his career. There ain't any sign of life or acting skill in his roles, I mean role, is there?

But I digress. This South Africa-born character actor appeared in British films from 1956. Typical Green roles of the 1950s and 1960s included Little John in The Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960) and Hercules in Jason and the Argonauts (1963); he was also more of a presence than a personality in the 1958 TV series William Tell.

After an excellent showing in Zulu (1964), his film assignments improved noticeably; among his later characterizations were Nyland Smith in The Face of Fu Manchu (1965) and General Wolsely in Khartoum (1966). He is also listed in many reference works as having appeared as Tom Ayerton, aka The Green Man, in Mysterious Island (1961), but his planned scenes were never filmed (Ayerton appears in the film only as a skeleton).

Nigel Green died of an accidental barbiturate overdose at the age of 47. He was married to Patricia Marmont.
