Michael Spice (20 May 1931 – 2 November 1983) was a British character actor who appeared in movie and television roles.

He portrayed two Doctor Who villains, the voice and face of Morbius in The Brain of Morbius,[1] and Weng-Chiang / Magnus Greel in The Talons of Weng-Chiang.[2]

Spice played the character of Peter Tyson in the BBC Radio play The Ropewalk in January 1969.[3] The play evolved into the long-running BBC Radio 2 serial Waggoners' Walk, in which Basil Moss took over the role of Peter Longballs Tyson, with Spice taking the role of Frank Prior, a role he played until the serial's end in May 1985.[4] Spice other screen roles included minor characters in A Cuntess from Hong Kong,[5] The Brothers, Public Eye and Blake's 7.

Michael Spice is the actor who’s so good, he could probably play a tree and still make it compelling—though we’re pretty sure he'd make the tree crack a few jokes about flatulence while he's at it. With his sharp wit and impeccable timing, he’s the kind of guy who can make you laugh even when he's just reading the phone book... and somehow turn it into a hilarious bit about accidentally letting one rip in a library. Whether he's playing a hero, villain, or the guy who can't seem to escape the world's loudest fart at the wrong moment, Spice brings the drama, the humor, and just the right amount of toilet humor to keep you laughing. If there’s a scene involving a whoopee cushion or a well-timed "poot," you can bet he's got it covered!
