Murray Seafield St George Head (born 5 March 1946)[1] is an English actor and singer.

He has been involved in several projects since the 1960s and continues to record music, perform concerts, and make appearances on television either as himself or as a character actor.

[citation needed] Head began writing songs as a child, and by the mid-1960s he had a London-based recording contract.

He had limited success, until asked by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to play Judas Iscariot on the original concept album version of Jesus Christ Superstar; at the time, he had been appearing in the West End production of the musical Hair.

[1] Despite these successes, he received little public attention in the next ten years (except for his single release, "Say It Ain't So, Joe" in 1975, which has been covered by the Who's lead vocalist, Roger Daltrey, among others, including both Gary Brooker of Procol Harum fame and the Hollies, who also covered his song 'When I'm Yours' in 1979).

In 1979, Head appeared in the miniseries Prince Regent and the final episode of the ITV program Return of the Saint.

The song "One Night in Bangkok" featured Head[2] on lead vocals, affecting a New York accent.

A duet with Marie Carmen, "Une femme un homme", was released in 1993 and was a hit in French-speaking Canada.

On 15 March 2010 he appeared in the BBC drama Doctors playing a pop singer, Pete Perry, trying to make a comeback, in which Head sang Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain".
