The films in the festival spotlight an astonishing array of British and American actors. And one or two thespians from other lands too! So check out the movies featuring your favorites!

Several of the actors are associated with more than one film in the festival. And sometimes an actor is involved with a movie in a capacity other than acting - such as writing, producing or music scoring. With this A-Z list - you can check out all the films relating to all the principal actors.

There are capsule descriptions to help identify certain performers - such as character actors or British talent - who might be more familiar to you by a description of their other work than by their name.

Beautiful and talented Australian actress whose career was derailed in early 70's by unfortunate accident which rendered her idle for six painful years. Fortunately she recovered and shed her handicap.
I'll Never Forget What's 'Is Name

Robin Askwith

Debuted in Lindsay Anderson's "If..." Went on to star in mid-70's series of low-brow sex comedy movies - the gloriously tacky "Confessions Of A..." (Window Cleaner, Driving Instructor, Pop Performer etc etc)
Otley

Jean-Paul Belmondo

One of the ultimate Gallic symbols. As adept playing French gangsters as comedic roles. Apparently irresistible to women!
Casino Royale

Jacqueline Bisset

Utterly gorgeous and talented British actress once described by Newsweek magazine as "the most beautiful film actress of all time"
Casino Royale

Cilla Black

The cloakroom gal at Liverpool's Cavern Club was a pal of the Beatles and under the skillful handling of Beatles manager Brian Epstein became a hugely successful pop singer. Epstein presciently believed that she would become a big TV star - and she has been UK's top female TV personality for 30 years. After cameo in Gerry & the Pacemakers' 1965 movie "Ferry Cross the Mersey" - she landed this role in movie directed by stage legend Sir Peter Hall. As Cilla would say in her distinctive Scouse accent: "Hope you have a lorra fun!"
Work Is A 4-Letter Word

John Bluthal

Familiar face in British comedies - including Beatles movies (he was the car thief in "A Hard Day's Night" and a baddie in "Help!") and part of Spike Milligan's 70's troupe in ground-breaking TV series - "Q5" and its successors.
Casino Royale

James Bolam

Part of the new wave of 60's actors. Northern working-class. Was one half of the "Likely Lads" a classic 60's-70's Brit-com created and written by Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais. Bolam played the cheeky, irascible John Lennon-like character "Terry". Continued success as star on British TV and as character actor in movies such as "The End Of the Affair."
Otley

Dirk Bogarde

Sebastian
Modesty Blaise

Charles Boyer

Suave, debonair Frenchman turned American icon. Unforgettable in numerous films including "Gaslight" and "Barefoot In The Park"
Casino Royale

Bernard Bresslaw

Unique comedic character actor who specialized in playing gruff, dense imbeciles. A lofty 6'7" he was a staple in "Carry On..." movies. After one of the UK's easy listening crooners had a late 50's hit with a schmaltzy ballad called "You Need Hands" - Bresslaw recorded a parody "You Need Feet" - which was later memorably featured in the Rutles movie "All You Need Is Cash" ("...and I need feet - to run away from you")
Morgan!

Andrea Cagan

She followed her debut in "Captain Milkshake" with the role of Bunny in 1972's "The Hot Box" - and then what? We have no idea. Anyone know? Please share with us!
Captain Milkshake

Capucine

Elegant and exquisite - starred in "A Shot In The Dark" - the first of the Pink Panther films. And many sophisticated European films over the years.
What's New Pussycat?

Ronnie Corbett

Diminutive British comedic actor. With fellow Brit Ronnie Barker - was one half of the much beloved TV duo "The Two Ronnies." With Barker and John Cleese was integral player in the award-winning David Frost BBC TV comedy shows in the 60's.
Casino Royale

Tom Courtenay

Came to prominence at the same time as Albert Finney - playing Northern working class characters in films such as "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner" and "Billy Liar." Oscar-nominated for "Doctor Zhivago" and "The Dresser." Fabulous actor - who has given much of his career to the English stage.
Otley

Wendy Craig

Staple of English TV sitcoms - playing cutesy middle-class women with daffy sensibilities.
I'll Never Forget What's 'Is Name

Kenneth Cranham

Solid English character actor - at home in drama and comedy.
Otley

Bernard Cribbins

Popular comedic character - familiar in Ealing comedies and "Carry On..." films. In 1962 - just before he broke through producing the Beatles - George Martin recorded a series of novelty hit singles featuring Cribbins. One of the titles later inspired the name of a really bad pop group. (Clue: It wasn't "Hole In The Ground" or "Gossip Calypso." Maybe it was "Right Said Fred" ?!)
Casino Royale

Graham Crowden

Dependable English actor - favored by director Lindsay Anderson and various Pythons - he was chosen to appear in projects created by John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Graham Chapman.
Morgan!

Nigel Davenport

Familiar face (you know him when you see him) - always playing members of the aristocracy or senior military figures in films ranging from "The Royal Hunt Of The Sun" to "Without A Clue'
Sebastian

Alain Delon

Mr. French gangster. Handsome anti-hero - a Gallic James Dean. Survived late 60's scandal that implied his gangster image wasn't just method acting. The ultimate bad wolf that disturbed women run with...
Girl On A Motorcycle

Valentine Dyall

Charismatic character actor with very distinctive baritone voice. Performed in the classic mid-50's TV versions of the Goon show "A Show Called Fred" directed by Richard Lester.
Casino Royale

Adam Faith

Pre-Beatle era English teen idol - with clean-cut looks. Vocally - a British Buddy Holly - complete with hiccoughing vocals. He matured into respected TV and film actor in 70's and 80's (including "Stardust" and "McVicar") He also discovered and produced rock singer Leo Sayer.
Beat Girl

Marianne Faithfull

The ultimate 1960's poor little rich girl. The prototype bread-head waif. She managed to get out from under Mick Jagger's thumb (among other things) to establish herself as a credible actress. Her stage Ophelia in 1969 was a stunner. But Mick's jagged edge left its marks on her. Her resurrection as rock music's Edith Piaf owes much to how she survived her late 60's and early 70's descent into Sympathy For The Devil.
I'll Never Forget What's 'Is Name
Girl On A Motorcycle

Barry Fantoni

An art school renaissance man who came to symbolize the swinging Sixties. Artist, writer, composer, cartoonist, TV host and even occasional actor.

I'll Never Forget What's 'Is Name

Jane Fonda

Barbarella

Harrison Ford

This brief uncredited cameo was not Harrison Ford's first screen appearance. He had some stunning cameos in TV shows such as "Ironside" and "The Virginian" - which were probably among Michelangelo Antonioni's favorite TV shows at the time he was casting "Zabriskie Point" (!)
Zabriskie Point

Edward Fox

The always dapper younger brother of James Fox is a natural playing aristocratics and upper crust gents - and of course was The Jackal.
I'll Never Forget What's 'Is Name

Ronald Fraser

Actor who specialized in playing quirky upper-class types - his distinctive Englishman-as-harassed-hamster looks made him a memorable face.
Sebastian

Mark Frechette

Quite the story surrounds this actor. After his Zabriskie Point debut he was arrested in 1970 in Boston for alleged armed robbery. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Died in a weight room at Massachusetts Correctional Institution when a 150-pound weight bar pressed against his throat. Ruled an accident...
Zabriskie Point

Alan Freeman

Australian-born DJ who became icon of swinging London as camp BBC radio host (his nickname is "Fluff"!) Seen in Julien Temple's 80's confection "Absolute Beginners" and a handful of other films. "Greetings Pop-Pickers!" was his signature catch-phrase.
Sebastian

Sir John Gielgud

One of the all-time greats.
Sebastian

Marius Goring

English actor often drafted in to play members of the German officer class as well British aristocrats. Successfully portrayed everyone from King George V to Von Hindenburg. That is called range.
Girl On A Motorcycle

Daria Halprin

Appeared in three films (two of them in this festival) and then after the last one in 1972 - she got married to Dennis Hopper. Four years later her marriage was over. And so apparently was her taste for spending time with actors. She never made another film.
Zabriskie Point
Revolution

Mie Hama

If you wondered whether appearing in the Japanese film which Woody Allen turned into "What's Up Tiger Lily?" was a career benefit for any of the original cast - just check out "You Only Live Twice." Having been credited as just "Mystery Moll #2" in the 1964 Japanese original film - in Woody Allen's 1966 version she was renamed Teri Yaki. Within months she was cast as a lead character in the next Bond movie - as Kissy Suzuki. She and fellow "Tiger Lily" actress Akiko Wakabayashi had made the journey all the way from minor roles in 1962's "King Kong Versus Godzilla" through Tiger Lily - into the world of James Bond.
What's Up, Tiger Lily?

Irene Handl

The grand old lady of English comedies. Everybody's favorite dotty character. Usually working class, cockney, salt-of-the-earth types. Appeared in 118 credited roles over a 50 year span.

Casino Royale

Michael Hordern

Modesty Blaise

Stirling Moss

The world's leading racing car driver in the 50's and 60's - the Androtti of his era. It was a cute gag to have him in "Casino Royale" as a driver. He had a similar cameo in a later episode of "Hawaii Five-O"
Casino Royale

Arthur Mullard

The ultimate comedic cockney villain - with a face that sank a thousand ships - and a gruff voice that would keep 'em sunk.

Casino Royale

Pete Murray

Another of Britain's swingin' Sixties deejays - he was also a popular pitchman in TV ads. "When Pete Murray meets his friends for a drink at the Hilton...." (this was when the London Hilton was considered the height of sophistication!) - Pete's navy blazer and white slacks epitomized the Brit version of a hipster swinger!
Otley

Derek Nimmo

Britain's favorite comedic clergyman - this actor appeared in several sitcoms as a twittery priest. He was like a Brit-com equivalent of Father Guido Sarducci! He was unbilled in "A Hard Day's Night" as the magician with the diminishing number of birds!
Casino Royale

David Niven

Casino Royale

Milo O'Shea

The twinkling-eyed Irish character actor who enhances every film he appears in - and we've seen him as the judge in "The Verdict" and the priest in "The Purple Rose of Cairo" among many.

I'll Never Forget What's 'Is Name
