Did Philip Madoc play another character in the UFO universe? Where?

Hi Denise!

Apart from DESTRUCTION Madoc played Marys new husband Rutland in A
QUESTION OF PRIORITIES.

BTW, great what you all know!
Have to watch some episodes again, I think :-)

Thanks to everyone for answering my question BTW.

No way!!!! He played that weasel? It's just not possible! Nothing
remotely attractive about that character---yuk! I guess I'll have to watch
the episode again to be sure for myself.

Man, I hate when that happens. There are a few actors who are such
chameleons that you don't recognize them when they play something different,
like a bad guy. For example, Michael Biehn in "Terminator" and in "The
Abyss." Or Paul Reiser from "Mad About You" in "Aliens." Or the truly wild
one: Patrick Stewart of TNG in "Conspiracy Theory." How do they DO that?

And the really big question is: Will I be able to drool over that captain
ever again now that I know he's Rutland?
*sigh*

It is, Denise :-)
And isn't it great? I mean that an actor can do this different kind
of roles? Like e.g. John Malkovich in his ones?

Oh yeah. For even more evidence of Mr Madoc's versatility check out
"Doppelganger" where he plays the nerdy Dr Pontini, vs. Space:1999
(Breakaway) where he plays a brief part as Cmdr. Koenig's predecessor,
the gruff Cmdr. Gorski. I never in a million years would have
recognized that they were the same person.

Here is a publicity shot from this years "Cult TV" festival last
month in Liverpool.
