Minster, mmn = Cochran-Carr〕 – 24 November 1999)〔GRO Register of Deaths: NOV 1999 B60B 5 KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA – Roger Michael H. Minster, DoB = 21 Mar 1944, aged 55〕 was an English character actor. Born in Surrey, England, he is perhaps best known for playing General Erich Von Klinkerhoffen in the sitcom '''Allo 'Allo!'' between 1984 and 1992.

He also appeared twice in ''Doctor Who'', as the Thal soldier Marat in ''Planet of the Daleks'' (1973) and as an unnamed Thal soldier in ''Genesis of the Daleks'' (1975). This makes him one of the few ''Doctor Who'' actors to have played two characters from the same alien race. He also had a major part in another episode of a successful science fiction series playing Yagon in "Achilles Heel,' an episode of ''The Tomorrow People'', in 1978. His film appearances were scarce but include roles in ''A Bridge Too Far'' (1977), ''The Godsend'' (1980), ''Cry Freedom'' (1987) and ''The Girl in a Swing'' (1988). He was a presenter and producer of Central Independent Television's flagship ethnic minorities current affairs programme ''Here and Now'' during the early 1980s.〔(Picasa Web Albums – TheStirrer.com – POGUS CAESAR )〕 Minster provided the narration for the controversial Central television documentary ''The Men Who Killed Kennedy'', which outlined various theories concerning the assassination of the American president John F. Kennedy. He is buried at Putney Vale Cemetery in London. His epitaph reads "''The noblest of men. He brought laughter to a million hearts. Loving father to Leo, Quona, Jack and Lyall. Beloved partner to Nicola. So sorely missed. My wonder". ==Confusion over date of birth== There is some confusion in other biographies as to the year of his birth.
