comment by:AdeleFranklinDoes anyone know what happened to Mike, I followed his career for years and then he just disappeared?
comment by:LakesiderMike Gwilym is still an associate actor of the RSC (he has been since the 1970's) and is, I believe, living in Spain.
comment by:glyncorwgMike Gwilym, is the same as the entry above, Mike Gwillim. The RSC a few years ago told me he had become a vintner in France. His younger brothers, Robert, with whom he performed in his last film, 'The Black Hill' would surely know.
