Peter Miles

Peter Miles was an actor and singer. His acting work included performances with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the UK's most prestigious theatre organization, the Royal Shakespeare Company, but he became most famous for his appearances on British television, which included three separate appearances in Doctor Who (1963) in the 1970s. He gained his greatest notoriety as the evil Nyder, the close associate of Davros, in one of the most popular serials ever produced during the series' 26-year run, Genesis of the Daleks: Part One (1975). As well as many years as a professional actor, he was also an accomplished jazz singer who worked with top musicians and was a personal friend of the world-renowned soul and pop singer Dusty Springfield.
