Marius Goring (1912-1998) was a British actor known for his versatility and often complex roles, ranging from romantic to sinister.

His film career is inextricably linked to the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, where he delivered some of his most memorable performances. He shone as the young and sensitive composer Julian Craster in **The Red Shoes** (1948), an iconic role that showcased his ability to portray romantic and passionate characters. Previously, he had played the charming and ironic Conductor 71 in **A Matter of Life and Death** (1946), another masterpiece by "The Archers".

Despite these positive roles, Goring was often cast as ambiguous, elegant but sinister characters, or arrogant figures of authority. Examples include Horatio in **The Barefoot Contessa** (1954). His distinctive voice, refined stage presence, and ability to convey both charm and menace made him a sought-after character actor.
