Earl Cameron (8 August 1917[1]-3 July 2020[2]) played Glyn Williams in the Doctor Who television story The Tenth Planet.
He is one of the few actors from Bermuda to appear in Doctor Who. According to Toby Hadoke, he is the second black actor in a speaking role in the series' history, but his work is the earliest which is known to survive as of 2020[update], since The Smugglers guest star Elroy Josephs' contributions are missing.
Cameron claimed to have introduced his agent Terry Carney to William Hartnell's daughter Heather, which led to their marriage and the eventual birth of Jessica Carney, author of Who's There? The Life and Career of William Hartnell. (DCOM: The Tenth Planet)
After Zohra Sehgal and Olaf Pooley, he is the third Doctor Who cast member to reach his 100th Birthday.
