Eddie Powell is a widely cast British actor, a working presence rather than a marquee one. Of everything here, 'Legend' is the title that keeps being brought up, and Mummified Guard with it. 'Flash Gordon' accounts for a good share of the rest of the recognition. That body of work is now closed. Roughly 17 credits in 78 years means a rhythm of work most performers never manage.
