Peter Paul Wyngarde (born Cyril Goldbert,[1] 23 August 1927[disputeddiscuss] – 15 January 2018)[2] was a British actor. He was best known for portraying the character Jason King, a bestselling novelist turned sleuth, in two television series: Department S (1969–70) and Jason King (1971–1972). His flamboyant dress sense and stylish performances led to success, and he was considered a style icon in Britain and elsewhere in the early 1970s.
