Stuart Wilson

A handsome, dark-haired, often mustachioed, actor, Stuart Wilson became more familiar to American moviegoers as the corrupt cop in "Lethal Weapon 3" (1992). Discerning TV viewers might remember the performer from a string of prestige British shows, many of which aired in the USA on PBS. The stage-trained Wilson has a prominent supporting role in "The Pallisers" (1977) and cut a dashing figure as Vronsky to Nicola Pagett's "Anna Karenina" (1978). In the syndicated "Running Blind" (1981), he was cast an undercover British agent while in the multi-part "The Jewel in the Crown" (1984), he played a British army major. After a turn as a policeman investigating a murder in David Hare's superb "Wetherby" (1985), Wilson was cast as a titled Hungarian with mixed feelings about the treatment of Jews under the Nazis in the NBC miniseries "Wallenberg: A Hero's Story" (also 1985).
