Kenji Misumi was born on March 2, 1921 in Kyoto, Japan. Misumi was the illegitimate child of a geisha mother and originally wanted to be a painter, but his father disapproved. Kenji attended Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan. During this time Misumi met future Daiei studio head Kan Kikuchi, who gave Misumi a business card for a prominent studio executive. Kenji began his career at Daiei as a gofer before going on to become an assistant director. Moreover, after World War II Misumi spent about four years as an inmate at a prison of war camp in Siberia. Kenji directed his first film for Daiei in 1956 and worked profusely as a contract director for Daiei until the studio went bankrupt in 1971. In the wake of Daiei's collapse Misumi went on to direct several more movies that include four out of six entries in the hugely popular and successful "Lone Wolf and Cub" series. He died at age 54 on September 24, 1975.- Clive Morton worked for four years for the East India Dock Company, before training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and entering the acting profession. He made his stage debut in 1920 and did not act on screen until 1932. He was regularly employed for the next four decades, except for wartime service in the British Army. He was usually cast in small roles as pompous upper-crust types, dignified aristocrats, officers or executives. He appeared in some of the greatest British films made during the post-war period, including Scott of the Antarctic (1948), Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) and Laurence Olivier's Richard III (1955). On television he appeared in classic serials such as The Forsyte Saga (1967) and Wives and Daughters (1971). He is also fondly remembered by cult television fans for giving an impeccable performance in one of his final roles as the decent, patriotic but gullible and ultimately doomed prison governor Colonel Trenchard, who falls under the spell of Roger Delgado's scheming Master, in the classic Doctor Who (1963) serial The Sea Devils: Episode One (1972).
