Peter Gilmore

Peter Gilmore is one of those actors whose face you trust the moment a sailing ship appears on screen. Playing Captain James Onedin across 91 episodes of The Onedin Line is no small feat; it takes a particular gravitas to anchor a long-running period drama. What strikes me most is the journey from being born in Leipzig to becoming a quintessential English television star, fluent in TV, film, and stage musicals alike. I admire that kind of versatile, durable craftsmanship. He passed in 2013, but a performance that defined a decade of British evenings keeps his name afloat.
