  • Esmond Penington Knight was an English actor. He was probably best known for his role as Professor Ernest Reinhart in the 1961 British science fiction drama, A for Andromeda, alongside Patricia Kneale and Peter Halliday. He was an accomplished actor with a career spanning over half a century. For much of his career Esmond Knight was virtually blind. He had been badly injured in 1941 whilst on active service on board HMS Prince of Wales when she was attacked by the Bismarck, and remained totally blind for two years, though he later regained some sight in his right eye. During this period, Esmond dictated an early autobiography to his secretary, Annabella Cloudsley, Seeking The Bubble (Hutchinson & Co. 1943). He played the captain of the HMS Prince of Wales in the 1960 movie Sink the Bismarck! He died of a heart attack. His daughter is the actress Rosalind Knight.
  • Esmond Penington Knight oli brittiläinen näyttelijä. Hän esiintyi muun muassa professori Ernest Reinhartinin roolissa seitsenosaisessa sarjaelokuvassa A for Andromeda. Knight loukkaantui pahoin palvellessaan toisessa maailmansodassa; taistelulaiva Bismarckin hyökättyä hän vietti loppuikänsä näkövammaisena. Hän kuoli sydänkohtaukseen 80-vuotiaana pian palattuaan Egyptistä koti-Englantiinsa. Kaksi kertaa naimisissa olleen Knightin puolisoina olivat Frances Clare ja Nora Swinburne. Frances Claren kanssa hänellä oli tytär Rosalind Knight, josta sittemmin tuli näyttelijä.
  • Esmond Knight était un acteur britannique, né Esmond Penington Knight à East Sheen le 4 mai 1906, décédé d'une crise cardiaque à Londres (Angleterre) le 23 février 1987.
