Michael Thomas Jeremy Clyde (born March 22, 1941, Dorney, Buckinghamshire) is an English actor and musician. The son of Lady Elizabeth Wellesley, he made his first public appearance as a pageboy at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in 1953. During the 1960s, he was one half of the folk duo Chad and Jeremy, who had little success in the UK but were an object of interest to American audiences.
Clyde has enjoyed a long television acting career, and continues to appear regularly, usually playing upper-class characters. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of villainous Austrian Imperial Governor Hermann Gessler in the 1980s action series Crossbow, which incorporated Clyde's ability to convey evil in a distinctly aristocratic way. His other notable acting role was as Dick Spackman in the ITV sitcom Is it Legal?.
In 2008 he appeared in the BBC drama series Ashes To Ashes as the Superintendent
He is divorced from Vanessa Field, whom he married in 1970. They have two children.
