John Abineri (18 May 1928 – 29 June 2000) was a British actor.
His extensive TV performances included a regular role in Survivors (as Hubert Goss) and four performances on Doctor Who - in Fury from the Deep, Death to the Daleks, The Power of Kroll, and, most notably, as the misguided General Carrington in The Ambassadors of Death. He also appeared in the Blake's 7 episode Hostage, taking over the role of Ushton after the sudden death of the actor Duncan Lamont.
Arguably though, his best performance was as
Herne the Hunter in HTV's
Robin of Sherwood.
He spoke a number of languages (including German, Russian and French) fluently, which led to him being cast as a number of different nationalities.
He received an Emmy nomination for his performance as Chingachook in the TV adaptation of Last Of The Mohicans (1971). He also played the butler in the original Ferrero Rocher Ambassador's reception advert.
He was the father of actors
Sebastian Abineri and
Daniel Abineri.
