Born in 1955, Lyndam embarked on a remarkable journey, relocating with his parents and brother Eric from his native India to England in the early 1960s. Following his departure from school, he pursued a career in the banking industry, simultaneously nurturing his passion for acting. This dual path led him to enroll at the prestigious Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where he honed his craft under the guidance of esteemed instructors.
Lyndam's early foray into the world of theatre was marked by a notable performance in the production "The Blue Monster," directed by the renowned Nick Barter, who would later become the head of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). As his career progressed, he married Christine, whom he met at a church club in Harrow, and together they welcomed a daughter named Dominique.
Throughout his television career, Lyndam appeared in a wide range of popular shows, including notable roles in "East Enders" and "Coronation Street." However, it is perhaps his portrayal of a doctor in the medical sitcom "Surgical Spirit," which aired from 1989 to 1992, that will forever be etched in the memories of audiences worldwide. His character, a recipient of the sharp wit and sass of Nicola McAuliffe's Sheila Sabatini, added a delightful layer of complexity to the show's humor and charm.
