Henry Lincoln is an English writer and actor.
Under his original name of Henry Soskin, he appeared in 1960s television series such as The Avengers and The Champions. He co-wrote three Doctor Who serials with Mervyn Haisman.
In the 1970's he wrote a series of books and inspired documentaries on the alleged "mysteries" surrounding the French village of Rennes-le-Chateau.
