“Before his acting career, Lee served in the Royal Air Force as an intelligence officer, attached to the No. 260 Squadron RAF during World War II as a liaison officer for the Special Operations Executive. He was discharged from the RAF in 1946 with the rank of flight lieutenant.”
Intelligence and spy work is always undertaken by the poshest of poshboys. I mean, nothing against the actor and it’s certainly not his fault for being badass. Just something to observe in our society.
