He appeared as 'Pete' in Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party on its very first run in 1958, this being just one of countless stage performances he made. Though over-shadowed by his stage career, Gray made a handful of incredibly popular films, notably The Mummy (1959), as a priest in Laurence Olivier's film Richard III, the James Bond film A View to a Kill (1985) as a former Nazi doctor, and as the elderly and kind king in The Princess Bride (1987). In the late 1980s, he appeared in the BBC drama Howards' Way as banker Sir John Stevens. In Sergei Bondarchuk's 1970 film Waterloo, he is credited as both an actor (playing Captain Ramsey) and a military consultant. Gray died aged 76 in 1993. His wife, Felicity Gray, was a choreographer and speaker on ballet, who notably taught Gene Tierney for her role in Never Let Me Go.
