Jeremy Sinden
Jeremy Mahony Sinden (14 June 1950 – 29 May 1996) was an English actor, known for his roles as eccentric military men and overgrown schoolboys.
Sinden was born on 14 June 1950 in London into a theatrical family; both his parents were actors. His father was Sir Donald Sinden and his mother was Diana Mahony. He was educated at Edgeborough and Lancing College.
Sinden worked at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre, training as an assistant stage manager. While working in that position for two seasons in Stratford-upon-Avon with the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1970-71, he also understudied 45 different roles. He appeared in pantomime and rep in Bournemouth, Farnham, Leatherhead and Windsor, and he worked one season at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
He enrolled at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), where he studied for three years and won the Forsyth Award. Whilst still at drama school, he made his West End stage acting début in 1972 at the Cambridge Theatre as Private Broughton in R. C. Sherriff's Journey's End. Returning to the Chichester Festival Theatre, he appeared in four plays there.
Sinden played Baloo the Bear in a 1984 West End production of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book at the Adelphi Theatre, a production that also featured Fenella Fielding as Kaa the Python. In 1994 he appeared at the Royal National Theatre as Major Swindon in Shaw's The Devil's Disciple.
His last performance was also for the National, the following year at the Old Vic, playing Toad in Alan Bennett's adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. The Times reviewer described his performance as "a nice smug Toad, who wears everything down to his convict's arrows like a model on a Paris catwalk."
Sinden made his film debut as rebel fighter pilot "Gold Two" in Star Wars (1977). His character was later identified as Dex Tiree in the 2015 reference book, Ultimate Star Wars.
He appeared in such films as Rosie Dixon – Night Nurse (1978); Chariots of Fire (1981) playing the president of the Gilbert and Sullivan society; Ascendancy (1983); Madame Sousatzka (1988); The Object of Beauty (1991); Let Him Have It (1991) and The Innocent (1993).
