#Fact
1Considered for Bukovsky in Lifeforce (1985).
2Considered for the role of Gavrok in Doctor Who:Deltra and The Bannermen.
3Was asked over six times to in Doctor Who in the 1980s.
4Acted in both The Avengers and The New Avengers.
5Was offered the role of Sir Percy in Lifeforce (1985), but had to reject the part because the cancer he was suffering from made him unable to accept the role because of the demanding make up involving body casts. so Aubrey Morris was cast instead.
6Offered the role of Commander Uvanov in Doctor Who (1963) serial "The Robots of Death". The part was taken by Russell Hunter.
7Was also a stage director and drama teacher.
8He was known for his generosity and warmth to fans but equally known in the London Theatre scene for having a great fondness for drinking and smoking. Often the actor was noted amongst the gossip pages as having been seen indulging at various functions and developing a bit of a reputation of raising more than just a few eyebrows in his direction.
9He had his lower intestines removed in his early twenties and as a result had to have a colostomy bag implemented. Over the years he was refused certain film roles in other countries at his personal doctor's fervent request. His lack of "guts", so to speak, prevented the classically trained character actor from travelling abroad for the sake of appearing in motion pictures.
10He gained and lost weight over the last ten years of his life as he was ill with cancer off and on. He occasionally looked bloated and swollen as a result of medical treatment. He finally succumbed to the cancer when it overtook his liver in May of 1991 and he died under the care of his daughter, Rebecca.
11Lacey was known for his trademark smile which oft-times turned into a gleaming malicious leer as he played a number of wicked roles. He also had a rather large mole on his left cheek which he chose not to have removed. The mole gave his sinister characterizations extra dimension as it was quite large. In 1982's Trenchcoat (1983) (opposite Margot Kidder) he used the mole as a beauty mark in his role as Princess Aida, a mysterious and sleazy drag queen on the island of Malta.
12Being of Welsh decent, he owned a family cottage in Wales which was passed on to his three children after his death. The family would spend their holidays together at the cottage.
13Father of actress Rebecca Lacey and actor Jonathan Lacey.
14Disappointed with his acting career by the late 70s, he began to consider starting a talent agency. Spielberg then cast him as the sadistic Nazi villain, Toht, in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and after basking in the afterglow of the film's blockbuster success, the classically-trained character actor quickly changed his mind.
15Son Matthew is the godson of Hammer film's vampira Barbara Shelley.
16His daughter, Rebecca, became a television success on the BBC's long-running Casualty (1986) series (a dramatic soap opera somewhat comparable to ER).
17Ian Bartholomew sang 'Sometimes When We Touch' (The Honesty Song) at Lacey's memorial service which took place at St. James in Covent Garden almost three months after his death in 1991.
18Several obituaries cite his birthdate as June 18, 1935 and others list it as September 28, 1935.
19Lacey was twice married. Originally wed to actress Mela White, he became the father of two children (Rebecca and Jonathan) in the 1960s. After a turbulent divorce he remarried in 1972. Joanna Baker, his second wife, gave birth to his third child, Matthew.
20Wife Joanna Baker pre-deceased him.
