London, England, UK:
Michael Dennis Bryant war ein britischer Bühnen- und Fernsehschauspieler. Sein Filmdebüt gab er 1955. Seine bekannteste Rolle war die des Mathieu in der BBC2-Verfilmung von Jean-Paul Sartres „Wege zur Freiheit“-Trilogie aus dem Jahr 1970. Sein Gastauftritt als Wing Commander Marsh, der in der Folge „Tweedledum“ der BBC-Dramaserie „Colditz“ (1972) Wahnsinn vortäuscht, ist bis heute unvergessen. Orson Welles wählte Bryant für die Hauptrolle in „The Deep“, Welles’ Verfilmung von Charles Williams’ Roman „Dead Calm“. Die Produktion geriet immer wieder in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten, und nach dem Tod des Schauspielers Laurence Harvey im Jahr 1973 stellte Welles die Dreharbeiten ein und verkündete, dass der Film – der bis auf eine Spezialeffekt-Szene einer explodierenden Schiffsformation fertiggestellt war – nicht veröffentlicht werden würde. Der Roman wurde schließlich 1989 verfilmt.
