Laurence Harvey (Joniškis, Lithuania, 1 October 1928 – Hampstead, London, 25 November 1973) was a Lithuanian-born actor. In a career that spanned a quarter of a century, Harvey appeared in stage, film and television productions in primarily the United Kingdom and the United States.
His 1959 performance in "Room at the Top" brought him global fame and an Academy Award nomination. That success was followed by one of the lead roles in "The Alamo", produced by John Wayne, and as the brainwashed Raymond Shaw in "The Manchurian Candidate". Many of his films earned nominations and awards for either the films or his co-stars.
