After the war, Longdon trained at RADA (1946–48), and made his first stage appearance at the Lyceum, Sheffield in 1948, and his West End debut the same year.[2] He was best known for his lead role in the 1950s–1960s British TV series Garry Halliday where he played a Biggles-like pilot who flew into various adventure situations;[2] he also co-wrote one episode of the series in 1962.[3] He was also known for his character actor roles in British television productions such as The Sandbaggers, Danger Man and The Avengers.[4]
In film, he was Drusus, Messala's personal aide, in the film Ben-Hur.[5] He had a major supporting role in the 1958 film Another Time, Another Place starring alongside Sean Connery and Lana Turner.[6] He was also in four of the early Carry On films.[7] He played occasional leading roles, most notably in the tense B-movie thriller Clash by Night (1963).
