    Does anyone know if this good Actor is still with us?



    He was a staple in action/adventure series in the 70s. Seeing him again in the reapeats of KESSLER reminded me of how good he was. Not to mention his villian in Tom Baker's Cyberman story in DR WHO. Not seen him for ages.



    Any takers?!

    Was he the actor who originally stopped the New Avengers from being repeated?

    Indeed - he took over as the voice of Virgil Tracy on Thunderbirds when David Holliday went back to the states, and provided voices for the series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90 and The Secret Service.



    He then featured as Skydiver crew member Lt Gordon Maxwell in UFO.

    I'm not sure how well Jeremy Wilken is know, I watched him in UFO and a Doctor Who story.







    My question is that in his IMdb profile his Alternate Name is listed as Liz Morgan? There's no more info and I was wondering if this is a huge error, a joke or is Liz a common man's name in the UK?



    Anybody know the story behind Mr. Liz Morgan?

    Liz isn't very common as a man's name in the UK. Although there are some people that have "had the op" who have changed gender - see Wally Stott / Angela Morley



    As for the "Liz Morgan" name for Jeremy Wilkin on the IMDb, it would appear to be a mistake. Liz Morgan (real name Elizabeth Morgan) was regularly credited as the voice of various characters in Captain Scarlet.



    One episode of Captain Scarlet: Codename Europa has Eliabeth Morgan as the voice of Lieutenant Green and Jeremy Wilkin as the voice of Captain Ochre. They are next to each other in the cast list and someone has put the (as Liz Morgan) next to the wrong name



    I've submitted a correction

    Thanks Steve & DVDman,

    Sometimes, I actually believe IMdb list things as a joke on me?

    But I can see how the mistake could've been made, seeing they both worked Captain Scarlet.

    I'm glad you set me straight and good job on the correction!

    Brian Clemens mentions sourly on the New Avengers DVD commentary that Jeremy Wilkin vetoed the showing of the episode Medium Rare when the series was shown on terrestrial telly a while back.

    Is Jeremy even still alive? His Imb data is patchy and seems to indicate he may have gone to Aussie?

    The correction has been made. Jeremy Wilkin is no longer listed with an AKA name of Liz Morgan
