[edit] Biography
Born in Guernsey, one of the English Channel islands, Dotrice lied about his age to enlist in the Royal Air Force and served in the Second World War . He first began acting to raise the spirits of fellow inmates in a German P.O.W. camp. After the war was over, he devoted his career to acting, and became a notable success on both the London and New York stages.
He is probably best known to American audiences as Jacob Wells, the surrogate father to the "Beast," Vincent, on the television series Beauty and the Beast (starring Ron Perlman). Buffyverse fans might also recognize him as Roger Wyndham-Pryce on Angel.
Still active, his most recent film appearance was as King Balor of Elfland in Hellboy II.
His wife of 60 years, actress Kay Dotrice, died on August 2, 2007. His three daughters, Michele, Karen, and Yvette, have all acted at some point in their lives.
