You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Duncan William Ferguson Lamont''' (17 June 1918 – 19 December 1978) was a British actor.<ref name=bfi>((cite web|url=https://bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b9f694c09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170726144910/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b9f694c09|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 July 2017|title=Duncan Lamont|website=BFI))</ref><ref name=enc>Brian McFarlane (Ed): ''The Encyclopedia of British Film'' (BFI/Methuen • London • 2000) p397</ref><ref name=ps>''Picture Show Who's Who on the Screen'' (Amalgamated Press • London) [1956] p87</ref> Born in [[Lisbon]], Portugal, and brought up in [[Scotland]], he had a long and successful career in [[film]] and [[television]], appearing in a variety of high-profile productions.

==Career==

He trained as an actor at [[Royal Academy of Dramatic Art|RADA]] in London. He had a considerable amount of stage experience before World War II. He acted in repertory and at the [[Shakespeare Memorial Theatre]], Stratford-upon-Avon. He entered films in the early 1950s.

On film, he appeared in ''[[The Adventures of Quentin Durward]]'' (1955, as the villain De La Marck), ''[[The 39 Steps (1959 film)|The 39 Steps]]'' (1959, as Kennedy), ''[[Ben-Hur (1959 film)|Ben-Hur]]'' (1959, as Marius, an associate of Messala), ''[[Mutiny on the Bounty (1962 film)|Mutiny on the Bounty]]'' (1962, as John Williams), ''[[Arabesque (1966 film)|Arabesque]]'' (1966, as Kyle Webster) and ''[[Battle of Britain (film)|Battle of Britain]]'' (1969, as [[Flight Sergeant]] Arthur). Lamont is particularly memorable in his role as the wry, urbane Viceroy in [[Jean Renoir]]'s ''[[The Golden Coach]]'' (1952).

From 1958 to 1960, Lamont was a semi-regular as David MacMorris in the [[CBS]] [[Western (genre)|western]] [[television series]], ''[[The Texan (TV series)|The Texan]]'', starring [[Rory Calhoun]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://ctva.biz/US/Western/Texan.htm|title=''The Texan''|publisher=Classic Television Archive|access-date=31 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120408073448/http://ctva.biz/US/Western/Texan.htm|archive-date=8 April 2012|url-status=dead))</ref>

Lamont also appeared in guest roles in a range of popular British programmes from the 1950s to the 1970s, including ''[[The Adventures of Robin Hood (series)|The Adventures of Robin Hood]]'', ''[[Dixon of Dock Green]]'', ''[[Danger Man]]'', ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'', ''[[Callan (TV series)|Callan]]'', ''[[Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)|Secret Army, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)]]'', ''[[The Persuaders!]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

In 1953, he appeared in the major role of astronaut Victor Carroon in [[Nigel Kneale]]'s ground-breaking BBC science-fiction serial ''[[The Quatermass Experiment]]'', and fourteen years later returned to the series when he played the role of Sladden in the [[Hammer Films]] version of the third serial, ''[[Quatermass and the Pit (film)|Quatermass and the Pit]]''.

He died in 1978 in [[Royal Tunbridge Wells|Tunbridge Wells]], [[Kent]], of a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]] at the age of 60. He was working at the time on "Hostage", an episode of the [[BBC]] science-fiction series ''[[Blake's 7]]''. Although he had completed location work for the episode, he died before the studio scenes had been shot, necessitating a re-mount of the location material performed by his replacement [[John Abineri]].

He was married to the Irish actress [[Patricia Driscoll]] until his death in 1978. They had two children together.
