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 Lord Melbury in the first ever episode of the series entitled A Touch of Class.
