Roger Moore, John Steiner, Ian McShane, Richard Burton, Donald Pleasence and Stanley Baker are some that spring to mind that you haven't mentioned.

Always enjoyed the work of Patrick Magee (The Fiend, Demons of the Mind, and the little known A Clockwork Orange) - could be an incredible ham at times, but always highly entertaining).
And, of course, another Patrick - McGoohan, tho' I believe he was originally American...

Which has just reminded me of another, Malcom McDowell.

Of course... McDowell.
And we could mention Terence Stamp.
Old luvvie Attenborough was great for a period - Séance on a Wet Afternoon, 10 Rillington Place ect.
Paul - Magee is particularly amazing in the 'What big eyes' ep of Kneale's 'Beasts'...

 I totally agree with the choices you guys came up with,(esp.PATRICK MAGEE)
 I have got to add
                        DENNIS PRICE ( Horror Hospital / R.Askwith remembered him bringing a crate of
 Guiness to the set with him ..)
  TERRY THOMAS (Danger:Diabolik)
  MICHAEL REDGRAVE ( Dead of Night )
  EDWARD WOODWARD (Wicker Man)
  JOHN MILLS (Black veil for Lisa)
  DENNIS WATERMAN (Fright)
  And finally....
