In London, he worked with the {~Royal Shakespeare Company} and performed with some of Great Britain's finest actors, including John Gielgud. McAnally made his film debut in Professor Tim (1957) and went on to appear in a wide variety of films. In the U.S., he is most famous for appearing on the PBS series A Perfect Spy and A Very British Coup.
