Facts
John, whose narration can be heard in The Art of Noise's 1999 concept album The Seduction of Claude Debussy, had a distinctive voice which was used as voiceover on hundreds of productions over the years, notably the 1987 AIDS awareness campaign Don't Die of Ignorance (1987). In the music world, he can also be seen in the video for Paul McCartney's Take It Away (1982) and Suede's Attitude (2002 - in drag!). You can also hear him reading Shakespeare Sonnet No.147, When Love Speaks, here, and a clip of dialogue from Nineteen Eighty-Four can be heard at the start of the Manic Street Preachers' Faster (1994). John was married four times - his first marriage was to actress Annette Robinson (who was in The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve), while his fourth marriage was to casting director Anwen Rees-Myers. In 1983, his then girlfriend of 16 years, the French model Marie-Lise Volpeliere-Pierrot, was killed in a horse riding accident. John's brother Michael later became known as Brother Anselm, a Benedictine monk and writer at Glenstal Abbey in Ireland. In 2015, John announced he was suffering from early-stage pancreatic cancer, but later confirmed he was in remission. In 2015, John reprised the role of the War Doctor in the first of a series of audio adventures. Apparently, he holds the record for the most amount of on-screen character deaths in film history (at least 47; followed by Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price and Sean Bean).
