Born on April 13, 1921, in Hastings, Peter Dyneley acted mostly in stage productions prior to 1954, when he began working in films. Many of his plays and films were done with his wife, 'Jane Hylton' . Peter appeared as a guest star in many television series. He spoke fluent French, German and Spanish and was 5'11" tall. Peter died on August 19, 1977. Details of his death are unknown. His wife died of a heart attack only a few months later.
Although he was British, he performed with an American accent in both "Thunderbirds" and The Manster , a very low-budget, Japanese-shot horror film that has achieved a cult reputation.
His wife, Jane Hylton , died of a heart attack on 28 February 1979.
Though born and mostly employed in England, his early life in Canada gave him such a perfect ear for the North American accent that many of his best remembered roles (such as the voice of Jeff Tracey in the "Thunderbirds" TV series) were Americans. He was for many years a member of ITCs stable of character actors, and in one episode of "The Saint" --"The Bunco Artists"--he plays a con artist who starts out with an American accent and later reverts to British.
He spoke fluent French, German and Spanish.
Educated at Radley College in Oxfordshire and trained for opera at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
