The show's creator did not want to have the actor wear the Stag's Head costume. John was hired so he could be seen. The part was intended to have him as a shaman, but the production team came up with an elaborate (but cool) costume which hid the actor's face. This is why, from time to time, you see Herne take off his costume to reveal the man underneath.
Robin of Sherwood AKA the finest series ever made. Many thanks for this clip of the late John Abineri. I hadn't seen this one before. Abineri and Addie, two great actors who will be missed.
