Richard John Charles Tomlinson (born 13 January 1963) is a former officer of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). His career is notable because he believed he had been subject to unfair dismissal from MI6 in 1995, and attempted to take his former employer to a tribunal. MI6 refused, arguing that to do so would breach state security, although Tomlinson disputed this reasoning.
In 1997, Tomlinson was imprisoned under the Official Secrets Act 1989 after he gave a synopsis of a proposed book detailing his career with MI6 to an Australian publisher. He served six months of a twelve-month sentence before being given parole, whereupon he left the country. The book, named The Big Breach, was published in Moscow in 2001 (and later in Edinburgh), and was subsequently serialised by The Sunday Times. The book detailed various aspects of MI6 operations, alleging that it employed a mole in the German Bundesbank and that it had a "licence to kill", the latter later confirmed by the head of MI6 at a public hearing.

Walter Montgomery (1827–1871) was an American-born British actor, real name Richard Tomlinson.
Life
Montgomery was born 25 August 1827, at Gawennis, Long Island, United States, but settled in England. While occupied in business in Cheapside with a shawl manufacturer named Warwick, he took part in amateur entertainments, appearing at the Soho Theatre in Othello.
Engaged by James Henry Chute, the manager of the Bath Theatre, he played there and in Bristol, Birmingham, Norwich, and Great Yarmouth. In Nottingham, where he became a favourite, he began on management.
"Meanwhile, ... as Europe clawed its way out of a recessionary pit, rising stock markets helped boost the compensation of the highest earners -- many of whom have generous share awards and options -- closer to the levels enjoyed by their industry peers in America."
"The bricks and mortar that hold this ceiling in place are social attitudes in Europe about what constitutes excessive pay,"
"The approximate $2 million European average for chief-executive pay can be taken as a rough guide to that threshold, with the varying strengths of public feeling on the issue indicated by the different national averages."
