Richard Todd? I think he played in a few Disney movies many years ago. One of them was a movie about Rob Roy (famous Scottish hero). Another one where he played a guy named Charles Brandon, one of Henry the 8’s brothers in law! In both of them, actress Glynis Johns (Mrs. Banks in “Mary Poppins”)played his wife. I’m pretty sure that’s him! I always wonder what happened to him; I hadn’t heard anymore about him in years!

Yes, he was active for a while in Hollywood, but faded from that scene. He acted on Broadway as "Lachie" in the play The Hasty Heart. Richard Baseheart (one never hears of him these days) also well known previously acted as "Lachie". There was the film of course. Todd nominated for best actor, but I do not think he got it.

Was born to English parents in Dublin, Ireland and served as para-troop officer in WW2.

He played the Washington based reverend in the film "A Man Called Peter" as Peter Marshall in 1955.
