Neither David nor Sir Lawrence.
6. While serving tea one afternoon I caught the eye of a producer, who cast me as "Dusty" in the children's serial, The Adventures of Dusty Bates. |

We could use another clue, Bill. Not having grown up in the U.S. -- and in fact not having grown up with TV at all -- I've never heard of The Adventures of Dusty Bates.

Now that movie I've heard of! Although there have been more than one made. And I don't know the name of the Dodger kid in any one of them.

Oliver Reed?
For a supernatural chiller mixing magic (prestidigitation, legerdemain) with Magic (occultism, mysticism), check out my novel MAGIC: AN OCCULT THRILLER at http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Occult-Thriller-Reed-Hall/dp/1453874836

Not Athos/Proximo.
8. I later starred in a movie inspired by Elvis Presley's military service, and another whose original British title is the same as that of a James Bond film. |

The former reminds me of Bye Bye Birdie, in which Bobby Rydell played the rock star character about to be drafted. But he was American.

I had to look up Jack Wild; I was unfamiliar with the name.
Alas, no, not Jack. 9. Not content with merely an acting career, I turned to pop music. I had a #3 hit in the UK with I've Waited So Long, followed by a #6 (Personality), and two #1s (Why, a Frankie Avalon hit in the US, and Do You Mind?). |

David Bowie? (Sorry for the two "replies" to an earlier clue that showed up at this inappropriate juncture)

The only music artists I can think of that Bowie may have admired are Iggy Pop, and possibly Lou Reed. But I'm not sure if either of them was born in London.
So maybe we should be looking for someone who is more renowned as an actor? |

Neither Iggy nor Lou is correct.
You're correct: Pop was born in Michigan, Reed in New York. 11. In addition to acting and singing, I dabbled in song writing. In 1963 I won a Grammy for Song of the Year. |

Stumped.
My knowledge of British pop begins with the Beatles and Stones and my knowledge of British TV begins with The Prisoner and Monty Python. |
