Career[[edit] | [edit source]]
Wyngarde is best known for playing debonair novelist/detective Jason King in the early 1970s TV series Department S (1969-1970) and its spinoff, Jason King (1971-72). Wyngarde's performance in those shows — topped off by a huge head of hair — was later cited as one of the inspirations for Mike Myers' character Austin Powers.
The two Jason King series were part of the ITV stable of action-adventure shows of the late 60s-early 70s. At one point or another Wyngarde appeared in virtually all of the major ones, including The Avengers (1961-69), The Prisoner (1967-68) as one of the show's Number Twos, The Saint (1962-69), The Champions (1968-69), and The Baron (1966-67). He also guest-starred in an episode of the US spy series I Spy (1965-68). His birthdate has been a debated matter and is often given in conflicting accounts. This was further complicated by his own admission in an interview that he could not recollect his own age.[10]
Wyngarde was primarily a television actor, though he made a rare big-screen appearance in the 1980 version of Flash Gordon.
His last dramatic TV credit was a 1994 episode of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1984-1994), although as recently as 2007 he was seen engaging in an intentionally humorous mock interview for a DVD/Blu-Ray featurette for a reissue of The Prisoner. Ironically, given his hirsute image as Jason King, he appeared in the featurette bald-headed.
