Question of Character

In the list of cast in "Six Wives of Henry VIII" it listed Anthony Quale as the narrator/voice. The name sounded familiar to me so I looked it up on IMDB and found the same Anthony Quale played Cardinal Wosley in "Anne of the Thousand Days". I have seen Six Wives of Henry VIII over and over again I can not place Mr Quale in with Six Wives. Can anyone find him for me for future reference.

Anthony Quayle narrated the series as it was first shown in the US in the summer of 1971. This version of the series had a beginning that was much more elegant and high-tone than the original BBC beginning (the one you'd know from the videocassette) - they used as the main theme the trumpet fanfare from the end of JANE SEYMOUR. The episodes had ten to fifteen minutes edited out of them to allow time for commercials.
