Acting career

Nesbitt's many television credits date back to the 1950s, including roles in The Invisible Man, Man of the World, Danger Man, The Prisoner, Doctor Who, UFO and The Saint. He has also appeared in ongoing roles in a few series, including Special Branch and The Courtroom.

Personal life

Nesbitt has been married four times and has five children from his various marriages.[2]

His first wife was the actress Anne Aubrey. On 25 January 1973 he was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm on two occasions in October the previous year, by beating her with a leather strap after she told him that she was having an affair with another man, and by twisting her breast the next day. They divorced soon after.[1][3]

As of 2010, he lives in West Worthing, West Sussex with his fourth wife Miranda.[2]
