These include The Camp on Blood Island (1958), The Stranglers of Bombay (1960), The Terror of the Tongs (1961), and as Malay in The Reptile (1965).
Other film roles include Father Brown (1954), Bhowani Junction (1956), Carlton-Browne of the F.O. (1959), I'm All Right Jack (1959), Cleopatra (1963), Lord Jim (1965), Khartoum (1966), Anne of the Thousand Days (1969), Man of La Mancha (1972), and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974).
He made numerous television appearances in programmes such as The Buccaneers, Danger Man, The Avengers (appearing as a sinister eastern delegate in the episode "Death's Door" in 1967),The Saint, The Champions, Department S, and Randall and Hopkirk. One of his television roles was as Pandit Baba, a scholar agitating for an end to British rule in India, in the Granada series The Jewel in the Crown (1984).
