Trivia
Well known for his roles as Mycroft Holmes on the
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes ITV series with
Jeremy Brett and Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond film
Diamonds Are Forever with
Sean Connery.
Also known for his portrayal of the narrator of
The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Fans of the movie refer to him as "No Neck" because the high riding collar of the shirt and jacket he wears make it look like he has no neck.
Provided a voice for actor
Jack Hawkins, who had his larynx removed in an operation for throat cancer.
When Gray made his stage debut (in 1952, as Charles the Wrestler in "As You Like It"), there was already an actor named
Donald Gray . Hence the change in forename.
Played both a good guy and a villain in the Bond movies. Gray was Henderson (good guy), 007's Japan contact in
You Only Live Twice, then played Ernst Stavros Blofeld (master villain) in
Diamonds Are Forever.
Neighbor and close friend of
Ava Gardner.
Played Sherlock Holmes' brother Mycroft both in the film
The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and in the television series
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Appeared in both
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (as "The Criminologist") and its sequel,
Shock Treatment (as "Judge Oliver Wright").
He always claimed that he had never seen 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' (in which he played one of his most memorable roles, 'The Criminologist'), and had nothing to do with the rest of the cast because his scenes were filmed separately from the rest of the film.
