From award winners to lesser mortals, household names to second gravediggers, there’s a long(ish) history of actors who have met with a variety of successes both on the stage and in film and often both. For a few, it’s fame and fortune but for many it’s for the love of it. Some studied physics but most stem from the arts and humanities. Their home was often the ADC Theatre as well as the numerous college clubs and societies.
The curating of “actors” was frankly a nightmare (one of several). Many actors also direct and write and many are classed as comedians. We’re delighted to hear from you with suggestions, especially if we’ve missed someone out or (god forbid) made a spelling mistake but please check the other categories first: directors, writers, comedians. And here’s a link to the box-set.
