John Gibb Marshall (born 11 January 1953), better known by the stage name John Sessions, is a British actor and comedian. He is known for comedy improvisation in television shows such as Whose Line Is It Anyway?; as a panellist on QI; and as a character actor in numerous films, both in the UK and in Hollywood.
Sessions was born in Largs, Ayrshire. When he was three years old his father, a gas engineer, moved the family to Kempston, Bedfordshire and then to St Albans, Hertfordshire. He has an a twin sister, Maggie, and an older brother.
Sessions was educated at Bedford Modern School, an independent school for boys (now co-educational), and Verulam School, St Albans, followed by Bangor University, from which he graduated with an MA in English literature. At university, he had begun to appear to audiences with his comedy in shows such as "Look back in Bangor" and "Marshall Arts". He later studied for a PhD from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, although he did not complete the doctorate. This period in his life was unhappy. In a 'Worst of Times' column for The Independent from around 1990, he talked of how the freezing Canadian weather had depressed him, he was smoking 'far too many cigarettes', 'had a couple of disastrous flings' and described his PhD dissertation as '200 pages of rubbish'.
John Sessions appears as a guest on Clive Anderson Talks Back in 1991
John Sessions does an impression of Alan Rickman and tells an anecdote involving him too.
...on the ORIGINAL "Whose Line Is It Anyway" - in the UK.
I just think this is too funny to keep to myself. It's about why actors shouldn't pause while on stage...:P From QI Series 1 Episode 12.
Kevin Devine chats to multi-talented film and TV actor John Sessions about his current projects and life as a comedy writer.
This clip features ace improviser John Sessions (Whos Line is It Anyway?) in his own one-man show for BBC 2, variously known as Tall Tales and Likely Stories. Its the opening sequence from show 3 - 'Corinna Discovers The World'
As the Q.I. video was so popular, I thought you'd like to see another of John Sessions' Alan Rickman impersonations but this time, in costume! lol FYI, they are good buddies. Alan directed him and Ruby Wax in a comedy show some 20+ years ago. I'd imagine that Alan is a bit careful when talking in the presence of JS :D
A specially-performed extract from John Sessions' one-man-show "Napoleon". The occasion is some kind of arts awards ceremony broadcast over the 1989 Christmas holiday.
