He was born and died in Swanage, Dorset, where his father had been coxswain of the town's lifeboat. In 1992, a lifeboat was named "Robert Charles Brown" after his father.
He went went from playing Roger Moore's servant on "Ivanhoe" (1958) to becoming his superior in the Bond movies, starting with Octopussy (1983).
Studied acting in New York City at both the New School for Social Research's Dramatic Workshop and the American Theater Wing.
Succeeded Bernard Lee as M in the James Bond films. However, it is not know if he is meant to be the same character, Admiral Sir Miles Messervy, or a different character promoted to be director of MI6. Complicating matters is the fact that Brown played a different character in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Brown's picture also does not appear in the office of the next M, Judi Dench, but Lee's does.
