OccupationActor

Bald and heavily built, Warren emigrated to the UK in the late 1950s, after appearing in the West End with the Australian play Summer of the Seventeenth Doll.[3] He played many character roles on film and TV, often villainous, until his death aged 43.[4] Among his television roles were the Danger Man episode "The Paper Chase"; and as the diabolical film director Z.Z. von Schnerk in The Avengers episode "Epic"; and in The Saint episode "The Fiction Makers".[5] He also appeared in an episode of Steptoe and Son ("Cuckoo in the Nest", 1970) as Harold's supposed older half-brother.[6] He also played in the 1968 West End musical production of the ‘’Canterbury Tales’’, as The Miller.[7] His performance as the Police Commissioner in The Siege of Pinchgut, is notable for his characterisation of a masculine leader who is intelligent, self assured and no-nonsense.
