#Trademark
1rich deep sonorous voice
#Quote
1[on Denholm Elliott] He was one of the finest screen actors and a very special actor at that. He was one of the last stars who was a real gentleman. It is a very sad loss.
2When I meet people they say "I thought you put that voice on for TV". But you can't put on a voice like this - you're just lumbered with it.
#Fact
1He joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1946 despite having hated Shakespeare when he was at school.
2Because he had negative buoyancy when he was filming The Cruel Sea and had to be in the water he lay on top of a stuntman.
3When his cousin Frank was called up for the RAFduring WWII he was in mid rehearsal for a play and asked Donald to take over his role.
4His father, brother and sister were keen actors and he and his mother had to watch them perform.
5Brought up in Ditching, Sussex.
6Played Captain Hook on stage.
7Spitting Image (1984) created a puppet of him and he featured in several of their sketches. In one scene, he is in a restaurant and asks "Do you serve a ham salad?", to which the waiter replies "Yes, we serve salad to anyone".
8When he first became a stage actor, his speaking voice was comparatively high-pitched so he had voice coaching to lower it and make it more imposing and sonorous. When he later started acting in films, his modified voice was too deep for the young parts that he was auditioning for, so he had further voice coaching to raise it about an octave. His present voice is pitched somewhere between these two extremes.
9Was nominated for Broadway's 1976 Tony Award as Best Actor (Play) for "Habeas Corpus."
10Trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, whose alumni include Terence Stamp, Hugh Bonneville, Rupert Friend, Angela Lansbury, Matthew Goode, Sue Johnston, Minnie Driver, Nicholas Courtney and Julian Fellowes.
11Father of Marc Sinden.
12Brother of Leon Sinden.
13Father of Jeremy Sinden.
14He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1979 Queen's New Year Honours List and created a Knight Bachelor in the 1997 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to drama.
15He has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
