Though born in Portugal, Duncan Lamont was a bone-bred Scotsman; and though a Scotsman, he effectively curbed his burr to appear in British films. After considerable stage experience, Lamont inaugurated his movie career during World War II. His resumé includes such popular United Kingdom efforts as The Man in the White Suit (1954) as well as such internationally produced films as Ben Hur (1959), in which he was featured in the role of Marius. Lovers of swashbucklers have reserved a special place in their hearts for Duncan Lamont's portrayal of Count William De la Marck, "The Wild Boar of Ardennes", in 1955's Quentin Durward.
