Macnee also appeared in Oasis's music video for "Don't Look Back in Anger" (1996). He and ''Avengers'' co-star Honor Blackman had a UK Top 10 hit in 1990 when their 1964 song "Kinky Boots" received renewed interest from being played on BBC Radio One.
Notable film roles included Young Jacob Marley in ''Scrooge'' (1951), Sir Denis Eton-Hogg in ''This Is Spinal Tap'' (1984), and Sir Godfrey Tibbett in ''A View to a Kill'' (1985). He is one of the few actors to have played both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in different productions.
