Actor
62 years (Dec 2, 1941 – Jun 19, 2004)Cardiff, Wales, UK
Across changing tastes and formats, Colin McCormack has stayed a British actor who has been at it long enough for audiences to grow up watching him. Neither the cinema nor the television half of the career can be called the side project. 'First Knight' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Sir Mador. 'Death Line' belongs on any short list of his work.

Colin McCormack
1941-12-02 · Cardiff, Wales, UK
John Colin McCormack (2 December 1941 – 19 June 2004) was a Welsh actor who enjoyed success in classical stage performances and television shows including BBC TV's Dixon of Dock Green, a show he returned to twenty years later when he played a police constable. McCormack also appeared in several feature films during his career.
McCormack was probably best known for his recurring role as Alan in the 1984 science fiction series Chocky and for playing Kevin Masters in EastEnders.
McCormack's electric presence and square jaw coupled with his imposing athletic build usually saw him typecast as a soldier or policeman. He nonetheless appeared in a wide range of roles including Man About the House, The Good Life and Yes Minister. He also tutored and coached at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where his students included Ewan McGregor, Daniel Craig and Damian Lewis.
