Jeremy Kemp[1] (real name Edmund Walker) was one of the original regular cast of Z Cars, the long-running BBC police drama. Kemp appeared in the controversial role of P.C. Bob Steele, revealed to be a wife-beater, and left the series in 1965 to pursue a career in films. He appeared in Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors (1965), Operation Crossbow (1965), The Blue Max (1966), Assignment K (1967) and The Games (1970) and later went on to roles in The Belstone Fox (1973), The Seven Per Cent Solution (1976), A Bridge Too Far (1977), Caravans (1978), The Prisoner Of Zenda (1979), Top Secret! (1984) When The Whales Came (1989) and Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994). On television, he has been seen as Brigadier General Armin Von Roon in both The Winds Of War and War And Remembrance, and guested in episodes of The Mind Beyond, Shades Of Darkness, The Greatest American Hero (twice), The Fall Guy and Murder She Wrote, but he will probably be best-remembered for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard's brother Robert in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Family. He had a recurring role as Hissah Zul in the Conan TV series. Voyager's Return
