Article from Brian McFarlane’s “Encyclopedia of British Film”:

“Light-haired actor, briefly in starring roles in the 1950s playing men of action, portrayed by fan magazines as the ‘beefcake boy’ of British films.

  With limited acting range (too lightweight for villains), he had a laid-back charm but was rarely given roles to display it.  

After navy service, and reputedly, whaling in the Antarctic, was on stage from 1946.  

He was married to Janet Munro from 1957 until 1959.”
