Sir Nigel Barnard Hawthorne CBE (5 April 1929 – 26 December 2001) was an English actor. He portrayed Sir Humphrey Appleby, the Permanent Secretary in the 1980s sitcom Yes Minister and the Cabinet Secretary in its sequel, Yes, Prime Minister. For this role, he won four BAFTA TV Awards for Best Light Entertainment Performance. He won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for the title role in the 1994 film The Madness of King George, while he won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actor, for the 1996 miniseries The Fragile Heart. He was also an Olivier Award and Tony Award winner for his work in the theatre.
Hawthorne was born in Coventry, Warwickshire, England, the son of Agnes Rosemary (née Rice) and Charles Barnard Hawthorne, a physician. When Nigel was three years old, the family moved to Cape Town, South Africa, where his father had bought a practice. Initially they lived in the Gardens and then moved to a newly built house near Camps Bay. He was educated at St George's Grammar School, Cape Town and, when the family moved, the now defunct Christian Brothers College, where he played on the rugby team. He described his time at the latter as not being a particularly happy experience. He enrolled at the University of Cape Town but withdrew and returned to the United Kingdom in the 1950s to pursue a career in acting.
Actor Nigel Hawthorne shares his new film, "The Madness of King George," which is based on the true story of the life of King George III and has received international critical acclaim.
Nigel Hawthorne wins the 1991 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance as C.S. Lewis in Shadowlands.
Click 'Show more' for script. Sir Nigel Hawthorne, playing King George, and Sir Ian Holm, the physician, scene from the movie where the authority of a doctor precedes that of the mad king. Do you look at me, sir? I do, sir. I have you in my eye. No, I have you in mine. You're bold, sir. But by God, I'm bolder. Don't look at me! I'm not one of your farmers! You must behave! Must? Whose must is this, your must or my must? Get away from me, you bum sucker. Lincolnshire lick-fingers! Clean your tongue, sir. I will not! I'll be a guest in the graveyard first. Very well. If Your Majesty will not behave, you must be restrained. When felons were induced to talk, they were shown first the instruments of their torture. The king is shown the instrument of his to induce him not to talk. Well, I won't...

A short 1 min clip from "Yes, Prime Minister". Humphrey is trying to explain the PM the concept of "not-true".
A remarkable performance by Nigel Hawthorne (most well-known, of course, for his parts in "Yes, Minister" & "Yes, Prime Minister" and "The Madness of King George") in this throughly delightful and charming (and sad) film about the friendship that grows between a young tearaway and a Nazi camp survivor through the resurrection of the old man's talent for presenting a flea circus. Two excellent support performances from Tim Healy of "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" fame and the always reliable Michelle Fairley. I can find no trace of any other film or TV performances by the young actor playing Jason.
