Michael Gwynn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Gwynn (30 November 1916 in Bath – 29 January 1976 in London) was an English actor. During the Second World War he served in East Africa as a Major and was Adjutant to the 2nd. Nyasaland Battalion, Kings African Rifles.
He is perhaps best remembered in contemporary culture as the shyster Lord Melbury who attempts to coerce £200 and a set of British Empire coins from the unsuspecting Basil Fawlty in the BBC comedy Fawlty Towers. Gwynn appears as such in the first ever episode of the series entitled "A Touch of Class."
