Actor: Michael York

Michael York was a fixture of 1970s international cinema, in Cabaret, The Three Musketeers, Logan’s Run and Murder on the Orient Express.

Cabaret is the best of them, playing a repressed Englishman in Weimar Berlin whose sexuality the film handles more directly than most of its period.

The Austin Powers films gave him a late comic revival as Basil Exposition, introducing him to a generation with no idea about the earlier work. He has worked heavily in narration and audiobooks.
