Colley first worked with Ken Russell on The Music Lovers playing Tchaikovsky's brother Modeste. For me his best role.
He went on to act in The Devils, Mahler, Lisztiomania and The Rainbow as well as the television film Prisoner of Honour from 1991 playing Dreyfus.
He worked in over 150 cinema and television films including roles in Monty Python's Life of Brian and The Empire Strikes Back.
