David Niven?
Roger Moore?
Or maybe Alan Rickman
Michael Caine
I don't think Rickman was alive during WW2.
He’s still
Alive
Maybe the guy who played Alfred in the original Batman movies?
Rickman? No, he unfortunately passed away.
Cheesegrater nailed it. Michael Gough.
Michael Gough. Only won one BAFTA despite 192 acting credits on IMDB. Did theater and won a Tony.
Niven was in the war, so it's not him.
No I know-Michael Caine is alive... this sounds like someone who did pass away
And he was a conscientious objector during the war. Damn, I never guess these!
Jean luc Picard
Definitely! Nice one- I looked him up and absolutely recognize him from alot
Praise from Caesar!
James Mason was a conscientious objector, but don't think he was in a superhero movie
Michael Caine was in the Korean War
+1 cheesegrater & Melvin
During World War II Gough was a conscientious objector, like his friend Frith Banbury, although he was obliged to serve in the Non-Combatant Corps,[7] a member of 6 Northern Company, in Liverpool.[8]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gough
+ 1 Gough. Didnt know the name but the face is immediately recognizable!
Caine won a BAFTA fellowship award (Lifetime Achievement in Britain) & is now Sir Michael Caine. I'm going with Clifford Evans on this one.
how about christopher lee?
Christopher Lee is a good guess but he wasn't a conchie. He volunteered several times during WWII.
Summary:
Shocker, WW2 conscientious objectors not popular in UK. Oh the Burton Batman butler. The End.
Oops! Sorry, Tricia.
Christopher Lee was an authentic badass. Served numerous behind enemy lines missions in the S.O.E in WW2, which was basically the assasination wing of British military intelligence.
James Mason.
John Hurt
Christopher Lee
Christopher Lee was not even close to being a consciensious objector. That dude has no frikking fear.
Yeah, it's not Caine, Lee, or Niven.
Gough was Alfred in the Tim Burton version of Batman, so that makes the most sense.
Good guess, cheesegrater.
Michael Caine (b. 1933) actually served in combat in Korea, so def not him.
@Sandybrook +1. Roger Moore
Edward Woodward perhaps. Wonderful actor who also played The Equalizer on CBS in late 80's. loved that show.
conscientious objector during WWII - aka, coward and big fat Nazi sympathiser...the left would award him with a fucking medal nowadays
No worries!
What if he didn't want to die for the King and his bankers?
Let the Nazis just continue their Blitzkrieg by bombing Britain, muz?
Your ilk has a lot in common with those who lost WWII: it's always the Jews, right?
Your shitholes don't even have any of them, since you either massacred them all or threw them all out, and yet you still blame all your bloodshed, inbreeding, child-raping and warring amongst your own, on them.
You better remember who won the last crusades, Gee.
Hate to say it but Christopher Lee apparently lied about his war record. He did serve two years in the RAF doing intelligence work - mostly debriefing flight crews. As such he may have had some involvement in flights used for the SAS, SOE and other "behind the lines" groups but CL was never a member of the SAS, SOE etc and never went on any "behind the lines" sorties. He did not specifically claim membership in the SAS, SOE etc but strongly implied it with numerous references to covert activities that he could not talk about for security reasons!
People, this is so obvious — Richard Burton.
Good lord, smearing celebrities apparently is now sport.
Richard Burton was 15 when World War II began. He was in service by 1944.
Alan Rickman was born in 1946. The UK had no draft so he wouldn't have been required to serve.
I don't know about Christopher Lee lying about his war record - but he had a war record. He was not a CO.
Michael Caine served in the Korean conflict. Not a CO.
David Niven served in the British army between the two wars and then again at the commencement of hostilities. He loathed conscientious objectors and, after the war, refused to act with James Mason or Rex Harrison, both notable COs.
Cheesegrater15 appears to be spot on.
Ian Mckellan? - I couldn't be bothered checking the dates.
@Unknown - Kvetch kvetch kvetch.
