Biography

British character actor Damien Thomas was born in Ismailia, a town on the west bank of the Suez Canal in Egypt. After moving to London, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating in 1966. That same year, he made his stage debut as Flamineo in John Webster's 17th-century play The White Devil. He later performed at London's Old Vic and with the New Shakespeare Company.

Thomas made his screen debut in 1968 and went on to portray a wide range of ethnic roles, including Middle Easterners, Spaniards, Dutchmen, and Russians. He is perhaps best known for his role as the sinister Count Karnstein in Hammer's classic vampire film Twins of Evil (1971). Other notable roles include the cursed Prince Kassim in Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977), the ill-fated musician Mark Smeaton in Henry VIII and His Six Wives (1972), Jesuit priest and translator Martin Alvito in the Emmy-winning miniseries Shogun (1980), the ruthless Spanish sea captain Don Alfonso de la Torre in Roman Polanski's Pirates (1986), and Agrippa, last king of Judea, in the six-part American/Italian period drama A.D. (1985). Thomas also appeared in guest roles on TV series such as Van der Valk (1972), Blake's 7 (1978), Dempsey and Makepeace (1985), The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1986), House of Cards (1990), and Zorro (1990).

Damien Thomas passed away on April 18, 2025, shortly after his 83rd birthday.
