Netflix Movies Starring Alan Badel
British thespian Alan Badel came to prominence after graduating from RADA a Gold Medal winner. He made an almost instant impact on the stage in both modern and classical roles. One of his first critically acclaimed performances was as Romeo, opposite Claire Bloom's Juliet at the Old Vic. Despite his velvety, resonant voice and commanding personality, Badel never quite made the first rank on screen. In the theatre, however, he was never less than a star, particularly after his tour-de-force impersonation of 19th century actor Edmund Kean in Jean-Paul Sartre's 1971 play. His motion picture career took in parts as John the Baptist in Salome (1953), Richard Wagner in Magic Fire (1955) and as the corrupt manager of a rugby club in This Sporting Life (1963). On the small screen he was excellent as Edmund Dantes, the Count of Monte Cristo (1964), and as the eccentric, enigmatic Count Fosco in The Woman in White (1982). Read more on iMDB
