Michael Peter Anthony Sellers (2 April 1954 – 24 July 2006) was a British builder, car restorer, author and the son of actor Peter Sellers. He also had small parts in a couple of his father's films.[1][2] He was often interviewed by the media about his relationship with his father.[3] Despite a tenuous and troubled relationship with his father, he frequently defended him and his legacy.[4]
