Marius Re Goring CBE FRSL (23 May 1912 – 30 September 1998) was an English stage and screen actor.[1] He is best remembered for the four films he made with Powell & Pressburger, particularly as Conductor 71 in A Matter of Life and Death and as Julian Craster in The Red Shoes.[2] He is also known for playing the titular role in the long-running TV drama series, The Expert.[3] He regularly performed French and German roles, and was frequently cast in the latter because of his name, coupled with his red-gold hair and blue eyes. However, in a 1965 interview, he explained that he was not of German descent, stating that "Goring is a completely English name."
