Talk:Michael Sheard

Untitled

Just wondering about Michael's age. If he was born in June 1940, he would have been only 34 at the time Pyramids of Mars was shot (April/May 1975), whereas he looks much older. I emailed his website about this, in reference to a DVD feature which said Sheard was 'in his thirties' (contrasting his age with Bernard Archard's). I thought he looked about 45. I got a nice reply from Michael himself telling me he was still in his thirties (just!) when he made the story, something you would be unlikely to say about age 34. I wondered if he may have been doing an Ainley and shaving a few years off. Does anyone have any definitive data, bearing in mind that the IMDB data is supplied by the users (or sometimes actors!)?

I am a bit suspicious of that too, in Grange Hill andRemembrance of the Daleks he would have been in his 40's, but looks about ten years older. Tim! (talk) 17:16, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

The Independent obit says 1938 and since they also showed up Ainley age shaving i'll change the entry. PMA 07:07, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I put a footnote stating that as the source in case it gets changed by imdb believers ;) Tim! (talk) 17:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

The Telegraph obit had 1938 too. PMA 13:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

The entry in IMDB has now changed to match ours.

Favorable comment about text here.

"In the Space: 1999 science fiction television series, he played Dr. Darwin King in the episode, "Dragon's Domain", and was therein the first on-screen victim of a screaming, human-eating, unoptic, tentacular monster residing in a space-ship grave-yard behind planet Ultra on the fringe of the Solar System."

That's just top notch. Completely encyclopedic, verifiable, with those lovely pseudo-Greek adjectives a la Dawkins, and also a complete riot to read.

Kudos to whomever contributed this nugget of text to a now not-so-dusty corner of Wikipedia. Alan Canon (talk) 16:53, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Selected filmography

It's a bit of a mess datewise. Some of the dates seem to be the year the TV show first started. Others are not so I assume they're the year he appeared in the show. For the record, he appeared in Take the High Road in 1987. I've just watched his episodes on STV Glasgow repeats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.40.120 (talk) 16:26, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
