Here's another brief look at a supporting player from the 1965/66 season of "The Avengers".

MICHAEL GOUGH
Michael Gough played Dr. Armstrong, a computer and mechanical genius turned tech mogul in "The Cybernauts".

Born in 1916, Michael Gough was a widely respected actor with a career that lasted over sixty years and was spent equally on stage and on screen, with roles in nearly 200 films and TV series. Most readers may remember him as Alfred in four Batman movies (the two directed by Tim Burton... and the two that followed), but he also had key roles in such famous television series as "Doctor Who" (two different turns as villains, with a roughly 15-year gap between), dozens of fun B- horror and sci-fi movies, and as the voice for numerous cartoon- and masked-characters over the years.

Gough passed away at the age of 94 in 2011.
