Ian Ogilvy
Ian was born in Woking, Surrey, in 1943. Ian went to school in Sunningdale and then later to Eton. At 17, he got a job as a stagehand at the Royal Court Theatre in London. According to Ian, he was the worst stagehand they ever had. After about 6 months of this, the Royal Court Theatre was very relieved when he got a place at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Ian is best known as an actor—in particular for his takeover of the role of The Saint from Roger Moore. He has appeared in countless television production, both here and in the United States, has made a number of films and starred often on the West End stage.
Ian now lives in Southern California. When he isn’t writing or acting he manages to fill his time by building things out of wood, gardening, playing games on his computer, riding his big black motorbike and scuba diving. A long time ago, he learnt to fly and has even parachuted out of a plane!
