Biography
Early life
Siner was born in New York City. His father was American, born in Manhattan, New York, and his mother English, born in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex. His mother wanted him to be educated in the United Kingdom, and the family returned there when he was five. After attending St Edmund's School, Hindhead, he trained for the stage at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
He is cousin to the actress Selina Cadell and her brother, the late Simon Cadell.

In 1980, Siner portrayed director Mack Sennett in The Biograph Girl, a short-lived West End musical about the silent film era.
