MICHAEL GOUGH, one of England's most venerable performers, became well-known to the contemporary movie audience with his role as Alfred, Bruce Wayne's loyal butler, father confessor and close ally in the four Batman films. Born in Malaya (now Malaysia), Gough was educated at the Rose Hill and Durham schools in England. He studied acting a the Old Vic School in London and made his first stage appearance there in 1936. One year later, Gough made his Broadway stage debut in ''Love of Women''. His first of over 50 films came in 1948 with ''Blanche Fury''. In the late 1940s and 1950s, Gough appeared in such motion pictures as ANNA KARENINA, THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT, THE SWORD AND THE ROSE, RICHARD III, REACH FOR THE SKY and THE HORSE'S MOUTH. During the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, Gough starred in a series of horror films for Hammer and other studios, which brought him permanent cult status among fans of the genre. They included HORROR OF DRACULA, THE BLACK ZOO, KONGA, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, THE SKULL, TROG, and BERSERK!. Gough later returned to prestigious mainstream films, including WOMEN IN LOVE, JULIUS CAESAR, THE GO-BETWEEN, HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES, SAVAGE MASSIAH, THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL, THE DRESSER, TOP SECRET! (in which he appeared with Val Kilmer), CARAVAGGIO, THE FOURTH PROTOCOL, OUT OF AFRICA, STRAPLESS, BLACKEYES, LET HIM HAVE IT, NOSTRADAMUS and THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. On television, Gough was seen in the mini-series ''The Search for the Nile'', ''QB VII'', ''Smiley's People'', ''Brideshead Revisited'' and ''Inside the Third Reich'', as well as on the popular fantasy series ''Dr. Who.'' A Tony Award winner, Gough recently celebrated 50 years of Broadway appearances with his performance in BREAKING THE CODE. |
