[1] In 1970, he played Teddy, the prospective buyer of a haunted house, in the 'Suspicious Ignorance' episode of Tales of Unease, alongside Tessa Wyatt.He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of villainous Austrian Imperial Governor Hermann Gessler, in the action series Crossbow (1987–1989), which incorporated Clyde's ability to convey evil in a distinctly aristocratic way.[9] Clyde also starred as Algernon Moncrieff in 1985 in the Great Performances production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, opposite Gary Bond as Jack Worthing and Dame Wendy Hiller as Lady Bracknell.In 1965, Clyde appeared in a stage production of The Passion Flower Hotel, a musical adaptation written by John Barry and Trevor Peacock, at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London.The play, which featured actor Warren Clarke as Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was set during May 1940, at a point in WWII when the idea of negotiating peace with Hitler was being floated around.
