Bernard Kay  Bernard Frederic Bemrose Kay (23 February 1928 – 25 December 2014) was an English actor with an extensive theatre, television, and film repertoire. Kay began his working life as a reporter for the "Bolton Evening News", and a stringer for the "Manchester Guardian". He was conscripted in 1946 and started acting in the army. Kay gained a scholarship to study at the Old Vic Theatre School and became a professional in 1950, as a member of the company which reopened the Old Vic after World War II. He appeared in hundreds of TV productions including "Emmerdale Farm", "The Champions", "The Cellar and the Almond Tree", "Clayhanger", "A Very British Coup", "Casualty", "Casualty 1909", "Doctors", "Z-Cars", "Coronation Street", "Jonathan Creek", "Foyle's War" and "London's Burning" in 1989. He also portrayed a mutant in the "" episode 'A Matter of Balance' - although hard to recognise under his make-up, his distinctive voice gives him away. He portrayed Captain Stanley Lord of the SS "Californian" in the BBC dramatisation "Trial by Inquiry: Titanic" in 1967; and he played the bandit leader Cordova in the "Zorro" television episode "Alejandro Rides Again" in 1991 which was filmed in Madrid, Spain. Kay also gave a sympathetic performance as Korporal Hartwig in an early episode of "Colditz". He appeared four times in the "Doctor Who" series in various roles, most notably as Saladin in the classic "Doctor Who" story "The Crusade" in 1965. He also appeared in the serials "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" (1964), "The Faceless Ones" (1967) and "Colony in Space" (1971). In 2006, he guest-starred in the "Doctor Who" audio adventure "Night Thoughts". His best-known film appearance was his turn as a Bolshevik leader in "Doctor Zhivago" (1965). (He commuted between Madrid and London to play Saladin during this stint.) He also acted extensively on the stage. In 1952, for the Nottingham Rep, he learned, rehearsed, and played "Macbeth" in less than 24 hours.
