Nicol Williamson (born September 14, 1938) is a Scottish-born English actor who was described by English playwright John Osborne as "the greatest actor since Marlon Brando".

Biography

Early life

Williamson was born in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, the son of Mary (née Storrie) and Hugh Williamson. He came from a struggling working class family, but managed to attend the Birmingham School of Speech & Drama.

Career

Stage and screen

Williamson made his professional debut with the Dundee Rep in 1960 and the following year appeared with the Arts Theatre in Cambridge. The following year, he made his London debut in Tony Richardson's production of ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' at the Royal Court Theatre. His first major success came in 1964 with John Osborne's ''Inadmissible Evidence'' for which he won a Tony award when it transferred to Broadway in 1965. In 1968, he starred in the film version. Williamson's ''Hamlet'' for Tony Richardson at the Roundhouse caused a sensation and was later transferred to New York and made into a film, with a cast including Anthony Hopkins and Marianne Faithfull. Faithfull later stated in her autobiography "Faithfull" that she and Williamson had had an affair while filming Hamlet.

Some of his other notable film performances are as an alcoholic attorney in ''I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can''; a Colonel in the Cincinnati Gestapo in Neil Simon's ''The Cheap Detective''; a suicidal Irish soldier in the 1968 film ''The Bofors Gun''; Sherlock Holmes in the 1976 Herbert Ross film ''The Seven-Per-Cent Solution''; and Little John in the 1976 Richard Lester film ''Robin and Marian''. More recently he has appeared as Lord Louis Mountbatten in ''Lord Mountbatten - The Last Viceroy'' (1985); the dual roles of Dr. Worley/The Nome King in ''Return To Oz'' (1985); Father Morning in ''The Exorcist III'' (1990); Badger in the 1996 movie adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's ''The Wind in the Willows''; and Cogliostro in the 1997 movie adaptation of Todd McFarlane's comic book, ''Spawn''.

Williamson made a major contribution to the documentary "John Osborne and the Gift of Friendship", recalling episodes from his long professional relationship with Osborne. Recorded excerpts of his award-winning stage performance in ''Inadmissible Evidence'' also feature in the video.

Williamson is known for several tantrums and on-stage antics. During the Philadelphia tryout of ''Inadmissible Evidence'', a play in which he delivered a performance that would win him a Tony Award nomination in 1965 he hit producer David Merrick. In 1968 he apologised to the audience for his performance one night while playing Hamlet and then walked off the stage, announcing he was retiring. In 1976 he slapped an actor during the curtain call for the Broadway musical ''Rex'', and in 1991 he hit his co-star (Evan Handler) on the backside with a sword during a Broadway performance of ''I Hate Hamlet''.

When Williamson appeared in the 1981 film ''Excalibur'', director John Boorman cast him as Merlin opposite Helen Mirren as Morgana over the protests of both actors; the two had previously appeared together in ''Macbeth'', with disastrous results. It was Boorman's hope that the very real animosity that they had towards each other would generate more tension between them on screen.

Other work

In 1974, Williamson recorded a dramatic, abridged reading of The Hobbit, for Argo Records, with authorisation for abridgement provided by Tolkien's publisher. The recording was produced by Harley Usill.

Personal life

In 1971, Williamson married the actress Jill Townsend, who had played the role of his daughter in the Broadway production of ''Inadmissible Evidence''. The marriage ended in divorce in 1977.

John Edward Thaw, CBE (3 January 1942 – 21 February 2002) was an English actor, who appeared in a range of television, stage and cinema roles, his most popular being police and legal dramas such as ''Redcap'', ''The Sweeney'', ''Inspector Morse'' and ''Kavanagh QC''.

Early life

Thaw came from a working class background, having been born in Gorton, Manchester, Lancashire, to parents John and Dorothy (née Ablott). His father was a long distance lorry driver. He had a difficult childhood as his mother left him when he was seven years old and he didn't see her again until twelve years later. He had a younger brother called Ray. He grew up in the Burnage area of the city and attended Ducie Technical High School for Boys in Manchester. He entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the age of 17, where he was a contemporary of Tom Courtenay.

Career

Soon after leaving RADA he made his stage début in ''A Shred of Evidence'' at the Liverpool Playhouse and was awarded a contract with the theatre. His first film role was a bit part in the 1962 adaptation of ''The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner'' starring Tom Courtenay and he also acted on-stage opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in ''Semi-Detached'' (1962) by David Turner. He appeared in several episodes of the BBC police series ''Z-Cars'' in 1963–64 as a detective constable with a drink problem. Between 1964 and 1966 he appeared as the central role of hard-nosed military policeman, Sgt John Mann, in two series of the ABC Weekend Television/ITV production ''Redcap''. He was also a guest star in an early episode of ''The Avengers''. In 1967 he appeared in the Granada TV/ITV series, ''Inheritance'', alongside James Bolam and Michael Goodliffe, as well as appearing in TV plays such as ''The Talking Head'' and episodes of series such as ''Budgie'', where he played against type (opposite Adam Faith) as an effeminate failed playwright with a full beard and a Welsh accent.

Thaw will perhaps be best remembered for two roles: the hard-bitten Flying Squad detective Jack Regan in the Thames Television/ITV series (and two films) ''The Sweeney'' (1974 – 1978), which established him as a major star in the United Kingdom, and as the quietly spoken, introspective, well-educated and bitter detective ''Inspector Morse'' (1987 – 1993, with specials from 1995 – 1998 and 2000). Starring alongside Kevin Whately as the put upon Detective Sergeant Lewis, Morse became a cult character - "a cognitive curmudgeon with his love of classical music, his vintage Jaguar and spates of melancholy". Morse became one of the UK's most loved TV series - the final three episodes, shown in 2000, were seen by 18 million people - about one third of the British population. He won "Most Popular Actor" at the 1999 National Television Awards and won two BAFTA awards for his role as Morse.

He subsequently played liberal working class Lancastrian barrister James Kavanagh in ''Kavanagh QC'' (1995 – 1999, and a special in 2001). Thaw also tried his hand at comedy with two sitcoms — ''Thick as Thieves'' (London Weekend/ITV, 1974) with Bob Hoskins and ''Home to Roost'' (Yorkshire/ITV, 1985 – 1990). Thaw is best known in America for the Morse series, as well as the BBC series ''A Year in Provence'' with Lindsay Duncan.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Thaw frequently appeared in productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal National Theatre. He appeared in a number of films, including ''Cry Freedom'', where he portrayed the conservative South African justice minister Jimmy Kruger, for which he received a BAFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and ''Chaplin'' alongside Robert Downey Jr. for director Richard Attenborough.

Thaw also appeared in the TV adaptation of the Michelle Magorian book ''Goodnight Mister Tom'' (Carlton Television/ITV), which also starred Nick Robinson as William Beech. It won "Most Popular Drama" at the National Television Awards, 1999. In September 2006, Thaw was voted by the general public as number 3 in a poll of ''TV's Greatest Stars''.

Personal life

In 1964, Thaw married Sally Alexander (a theatre stage manager), but they divorced four years later.

He met actress Sheila Hancock in 1969 on the set of a London comedy ''So What About Love?''. She was married to fellow actor Alexander "Alec" Ross, and after Thaw professed his love to Hancock, she told him that she would not have an affair. After the death of her husband (from oesophageal cancer) in 1971, Thaw and Hancock married on 24 December 1973 in Cirencester, and he remained with her until his death in 2002 (also from oesophageal cancer).

Thaw had three daughters (all of whom are actors): Abigail "Abs" Thaw from his first marriage, Joanna "Jo" Thaw from his second, and he also adopted Sheila Hancock's daughter Melanie Jane "Ellie" from her first marriage. Melanie legally changed her name from Ross to Thaw.

Thaw was a lifelong supporter of the Labour Party.

Thaw was appointed a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) in March 1993 by Queen Elizabeth II.

In September 2006, Thaw was voted by the general public as number 3, after David Jason and Morecambe and Wise, in a poll of TV's 50 Greatest Stars for the past 50 years.

A heavy drinker, and a smoker from the age of twelve, Thaw was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus in June 2001. He underwent chemotherapy in hope of overcoming the illness, and at first seemed to be responding well to the treatment, but in early January 2002 was told that the cancer had spread.

He died on 21 February 2002, seven weeks after his 60th birthday, the day after he signed a new contract with ITV, and the day before his wife's birthday. At the time of his death he was living at his country home, near the villages of Luckington and Sherston in Wiltshire, and was cremated at Westerleigh Crematorium in South Gloucestershire in a private service. A memorial service was held on 4 September 2002 at St Martin's in the Fields Church in Trafalgar Square, attended by 800 people including Prince Charles and Cherie Blair.

Bradford Claude "Brad" Dourif (; born March 18, 1950) is an American film and television actor who gained early fame for his portrayal of Billy Bibbit in ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'', and has since appeared in a number of memorable roles, including the voice of Chucky in the ''Child's Play'' franchise, Younger Brother in Ragtime, the mentat Piter De Vries in David Lynch's ''Dune'', Gríma Wormtongue in ''The Lord of the Rings'', the homicidal Betazoid Lon Suder in the TV series ''Star Trek: Voyager'', serial killer Charles Dexter/Brother Edward in the TV series ''Babylon 5'', and Doc Cochran in the HBO television series ''Deadwood''. Dourif has also worked with renowned film director Werner Herzog at many occasions, appearing in ''Scream of Stone'', ''The Wild Blue Yonder'', ''Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans'' and ''My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?''

Early life

Dourif was born in Huntington, West Virginia, the son of Joan Felton (née Bradford), an actress, and Jean Henri Dourif, an art collector who owned and operated a dye factory. His paternal grandparents immigrated from France, and his paternal grandfather co-founded the Standard Ultramarine and Color Company in Huntington. After Dourif's father died in 1953, his mother remarried champion golfer William C. Campbell, who helped raise Dourif and his five siblings (four sisters and one brother). From 1963 to 1965, Dourif attended the private Aiken Preparatory School in Aiken, South Carolina. There he pursued his interests in art and acting. Although he briefly considered becoming an artist, he was eventually inspired to become an actor by his mother's participation as an actress in a community theater. After Aiken Prep, he attended another private school, Fountain Valley School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, graduating in 1969. He attended Marshall University for a time, before quitting college and moving to New York City to study acting, on the advice of actress Conchata Ferrell.

Early career

Starting in school productions, he progressed to community theater, joining up with the Huntington Community Players, while attending Marshall. In New York, he worked with the Circle Repertory Company. During the early 1970s, Dourif appeared in a number of plays, off-Broadway and at Woodstock, New York, including ''The Ghost Sonata'', ''The Doctor in Spite of Himself'', and ''When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?'', in which he was spotted by director Miloš Forman who cast him in ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' (1975).

Although this film is frequently cited as his film debut, in fact, Dourif made his first appearance in a low budget film called "Split," which was never released. His first studio film was ''W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings'' (1975) but his bit part was cut. Nevertheless, his portrayal of the vulnerable Billy Bibbit in ''Cuckoo's Nest'' was his big break, earning him a Golden Globe (Best Actor Debut) and a British Academy Award (Supporting Actor); he was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Skeptical of his instant stardom, Dourif returned to New York, where he continued in theater and taught acting and directing classes at Columbia University until 1988, when he moved to Hollywood.

In 1981, Vincent Canby listed Dourif as one of twelve actors to watch, calling Dourif "one of the most intense, most interesting young film actors of his generation".

Film and television

Despite his attempts to avoid typecasting, Dourif frequently plays eccentric or disturbed characters, starting in ''Eyes of Laura Mars'' (1978), John Huston's ''Wise Blood'' (1979), Forman's ''Ragtime'' (1981) and Marc Didden's ''Istanbul''. Dourif then teamed up with director David Lynch for ''Dune'' (1984) and ''Blue Velvet'' (1986). He also appears in the 1984 music video for Toto's single "Stranger in Town".

Dourif has appeared in a number of horror films, notably as the voice of the evil killer doll Chucky in 1988's ''Child's Play'' (Dourif also appeared onscreen as Chucky's human progenitor, serial killer Charles Lee Ray). Dourif voiced Chucky in the four ''Child's Play'' sequels, and is rumoured to reprise the role in an upcoming reboot of the series. Dourif played the Gemini Killer in ''The Exorcist III'' (1990), but he has broken from the horror genre with roles in ''Fatal Beauty'' (1987), ''Mississippi Burning'' (1988), ''Hidden Agenda'' (1990), and ''London Kills Me'' (1991). He also played Gríma Wormtongue in Peter Jackson's ''The Lord of the Rings'' trilogy.

On television, Dourif appeared in ''The X-Files'' episode "Beyond the Sea" as Luther Lee Boggs. He also played Lon Suder, a murderous psychopath who eventually redeems himself, in a three-episode story arc on ''Star Trek: Voyager'', and has guest-appeared in shows such as ''Babylon 5''. In 1984, he played a suspected serial killer in the episode "Number Eight" of the British TV series ''Tales of the Unexpected''.

He played a role as a bad guy by the name of Wyatt in the Miami Vice episode titled "Theresa" which aired February 13, 1987 (Season 3 - Episode 16).

He is a fan of video games and appeared as Saavedro in ''Myst III: Exile'' (2001), the third game in the popular ''Myst'' franchise, and as the sadistic preacher Reed in ''GUN'' (2005).

Dourif was cast as The Scarecrow in ''Batman Forever'', while Tim Burton was attached to the project. However, Joel Schumacher eventually took over the project, and instead cast Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face and Jim Carrey as The Riddler.

Other roles Dourif has played are Doc Cochran in the HBO series ''Deadwood'', receiving a 2004 Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series". He also appeared in the film ''Sinner'', and played Sheriff Brackett in 2007 in Rob Zombie's version of ''Halloween'' and its sequel in 2009, ''Halloween II''.

Dourif guest starred in the third-season finale of ''Fringe''.
