Biography
Born in Singapore to an Anglo-Dutch family, they moved to Australia before the end of World War II, then to South Africa for a brief time, and eventually settled in the United Kingdom where he was educated at Cranleigh School. His father had been taken prisoner by the Japanese, was forced to work on the Burma Railway and died when his son was three. His mother remarried five years later.
He married and divorced twice. The first, in 1964, to Sheila Willet, with whom he had a son, Christien, also an actor. They divorced in 1986. His second marriage was to actress Tracey Childs, his co-star in Howards' Way. She became his second wife in 1990 but they divorced eight years later.
Anholt was originally a continuity announcer for the BBC World Service. His last filmed acting work was for Canadian television productions; he appeared in small roles in several episodes of Lexx and also guest-starred on his son Christien's series, Relic Hunter.
Tony Anholt died in London of a brain tumour in 2002, aged 61.
