Anthony Dawson (October 18, 1916 – January 8, 1992), born in Edinburgh, was a Scottish-born actor. Tall and long-faced, he was especially adept at playing villains as, for instance, in Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder and in several early James Bond pictures, though his face only appears in Dr. No. In later films he played a number of military and religious leaders.
He died in Sussex of cancer[1].
Anthony Dawson is not to be confused with the Italian director Antonio Margheriti, who used the screen name Anthony M. Dawson.
