Shane Briant

Shane Briant (1946-2021) was an English actor who had two roles on Farscape: Kaarvok in "Eat Me" and Trayso Talnell in "Fetal Attraction."
Briant is known for his roles in Hammer horror films. While he made his film debut with a bit part as a World War I German pilot in Von Richtofen and Brown (1971), the following year he starred in Hammer's Straight on Till Morning as a handsome but psychopathic young man. He played a similarly troubled role the same year in Demons of the Mind (in which father Robert Hardy locks him and his sister away to prevent madness). Briant moved from the psychological to the more traditional Hammer monsters in two 1974 movies, in a small but high-billed role as a vampire's unwitting son in Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter and second lead as Dr. Frankenstein's latest apprentice in Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell. While not for Hammer, Briant worked in the same vein as the title character in the 1973 TV movie The Picture of Dorian Gray. 
Apart from horror and gothics, Briant was in The Mackintosh Man (with Paul Newman), had guest roles on British TV, and played cross-dresser Norma in the TV movie The Naked Civil Servant (1975, with John Hurt). As the early 1980s rolled around, he had a supporting role in Hawk the Slayer (with Jack Palance), played third lead as Lord Chatterley in Lady Chatterley's Lover, and played a suspect in the Agatha Christie TV movie Murder Is Easy (with Helen Hayes and Jonathan Pryce). 
By 1982, however, Briant had moved to Australia, where he would spend the rest of his career. He made guest appearances on the 1980s Mission: Impossible, All Saints (multiple episodes), Time Trax, and The Lost World, as well as playing main villain Savage on Mission Top Secret (1993-1995). Australian films include The Lovers (2015, with Simone Kessell).
