John Nesbitt was a British actor who first appeared on UK cinema and TV screens in the late 1950s. His cold, yet cunning features made him a perfect fit for roles as unpleasant or untrustworthy characters. He appeared in many UK TV series, and the 1960s were his busiest period of work. He starred in WW1 aviation spectacle De Adelaar van het Eskader (1966), The Naked Runner (1967) and Als adelaars vielen ze aan (1968). He also wrote, directed and starred in The Amorous Milkman (1975) and was kept busy through most of the 1970s in espionage and action films.

Rather intriguing British actor who first appeared on UK cinema & TV screens in the late 1950s, and quickly found steady work as a rather unpleasant or untrustworthy individual. His cold, yet cunning features had him appearing in guest roles on many UK TV series including The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (1956) and William Tell (1958), and the 1960s then proved to be his busiest period of work!
Nesbitt put in strong, intelligent performances in the WW1 aviation spectacle De Adelaar van het Eskader (1966), as a cold war agent pursuing Frank Sinatra in The Naked Runner (1967) and probably his best remembered role, as Major Von Hapen, an ice cold SS officer nearly foiling Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton plans in Als adelaars vielen ze aan (1968)
The talented Nesbitt also wrote, directed and starred in the fairly tepid The Amorous Milkman (1975) and was kept busy through most of the 1970s in further espionage / action films. Unfortunately, demand for his talents waned heavily in the 1980s and early 1990s with appearances in only a handful of films. His last film appearance to date was in the crime thriller Double X: The Name of the Game (1992).
