BACKGROUND DETAILS: At 38 years old, Captain Grey is the oldest of the 'colour captains' forming the team of field agents for Spectrum. He is a former Black Watch, 3rd Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, and also served as an operative of the British special force unit of SAS (Special Air Service). He is listed as a surveillance specialist and as shown in episodes such as 'Enigma', he seems to be an expert in heavy, computerized artillery. In the episode 'Instrument of Destruction, Part 1', Captain Grey is shown playing the bagpipes at Captain Black's funeral.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND INTERESTING FACTS: The Captain Grey character is a totally different character from the original character in 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons'. The two only shared the fact that they are both the oldest colour-coded captain from the series. The Scottish background given to the CGI Captain Grey character could be seen as an obvious tribute to actor Sean Connery, whom had been the model for the original Captain Grey's puppet. However, the features of the CGI character combined characteristics of Scottish actor James Cosmo, as he was in his role of Lieutenant Anderson is the UFO episode 'Reflections in the Water', as well as actor Pierce Brosnan, as seen in James Bond's 'Die Another Day'. The character wasn't used often, but when he had a spoken part, Robbie Stevens provided his voice, who also performed Captain Blue. A professional voice actor, Robbie Stevens did various voices job over the years in various fandoms, such as computer games ('Call of Duty Black Ops',Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed' etc.), audio stories ('Doctor Who', 'The Avengers') and more. He also performed multiple voices in 'Terrahawks, another show produced by Gerry Anderson. |
