His many roles included Squadron Leader Peter Carter in A Matter of Life and Death, Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days, and Sir Charles Lytton 'the Phantom' in The Pink Panther. Niven won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Separate Tables (1958), having also played James Bond in Casino Royale (1967). James attended Heatherdown Preparatory School and Stowe School, before getting a place at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst then joining the British Army, being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Highland Light Infantry. Niven developed an interest in acting, so left the army, travelling to Hollywood, where he was cast in several minor roles in movies. He 1st appeared as an extra in the British film There Goes the Bride (1932) then hired an agent who got him several small parts in pictures from 1933 to 1935, including a non-speaking role in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Mutiny on the Bounty. This attracted wider attention within the movie industry James being spotted by Samuel Goldwyn before he returned to Britain upon the outbreak of World War II, rejoining the army, where he was recommissioned as a lieutenant.
