Russell Hunter
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Easily recognisable as an established TV supporting actor Russell Hunter is perhaps better known for his role as 'Lonely', friend and confidante to Edward Woodwards' 'Callan'.
Hunter's popularity grew in this role to the point where during later episodes of the series he was afforded starring roles, uncovering a dangerous plot whereby his friend, British Spy David Callan, had been abducted by KGB agents.
Hunter appeared in many other British TV dramas and sitcoms during the 1960's & 1970's.
