Anthony Newlands
Anthony Newlands (31 January 1926, London – 26 December 1995, London) was a British actor, born Raymond Gordon Newland.
His parents were, Lilian Elizabeth née Manning and Frederick Stanley Newland liked the name Tony after the farm horse, so said he would call Raymond - Anthony, no matter what. Newland also had two sisters named Jean Lillian Newland (born 24 January 1932) and Marion Frances Newland (born 24 July 1935).
Newland was obliged to use Newlands as a stage name as there was another Anthony Newland acting at the time. He was best known for his supporting guest roles in British television series of the 1960s. These included two roles in ABC Weekend's adventure drama The Avengers[1][2] and a role in the ITC Entertainment series Danger Man.[1] He also appeared in several television dramas and big screen films,[3] including Cannon's Mata Hari (1985).[4]
