Actor
8 January 1920 to 31 March 2016
A British actor best known for his lead role in the first series of the BBC’s Sherlock Holmes (1964-1965), Wilmer’s arrogant and sardonic performance proved a defining take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s super sleuth. His notable cinema credits included Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Patton (1970) and Octopussy (1983).
