David Hattersley Warner

David Hattersley Warner was born in Manchester and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). In 1965, at age twenty-four, he joined Peter Hall's Royal Shakespeare Company to play Hamlet, capturing the angst, apathy, and rebellion of the 1960s generation in a legendary red scarf, hailed by critics as the defining Hamlet of his time. He earned a BAFTA nomination for Karel Reisz's Morgan – A Suitable Case for Treatment (1966).

Warner enjoyed an extraordinarily prolific international screen career, memorable for his terrifying decapitation scene as photographer Keith Jennings in The Omen (1976), his villainous role as Master Control Program / Sark in Tron (1982), and Jack Dawson's menacing pursuer Spicer Lovejoy in James Cameron's Titanic (1997). A beloved figure in genre cinema, he starred in Time After Time, Time Bandits, Twin Peaks, and three different Star Trek installments, winning a Primetime Emmy Award in 1981 for Masada.
