Richard Crispin Armitage (born 22 August 1971) is an English film, television, theatre and voice actor. He is best known internationally for his roles as Dwarf prince and leader Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's film trilogy adaptation of The Hobbit and Francis Dolarhyde in Hannibal. However, Armitage first gained fame in the United Kingdom for his portrayal of John Thornton in the British television programme North & South (2004). He is also known for his roles as John Standring in the TV film Sparkhouse, Guy of Gisborne in the TV drama Robin Hood, Harry Kennedy in the TV comedy The Vicar of Dibley, Lucas North in the TV drama Spooks, and John Porter in the TV drama Strike Back.
After graduating from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), Armitage initially sought theatre work and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). But he turned to film and television roles when he noticed that leading stage roles went to actors with name recognition who could bring in patrons to fill venues. After twelve years away and having earned that name recognition, Armitage returned to the stage in 2014 taking his first leading role in a major production. He played John Proctor in the highly successful and critically acclaimed production of The Crucible at The Old Vic, and earned an Olivier Award nomination for Best Actor.

I found this piece of film footage elsewhere (forgot where) but I had to correct the aspect ratio so they would not be so squashed. That's the only thing I changed. Really. I don't mean to tread on toes.
Thanks to my wonderful friends (MB and Claire, you're the best!), I now have an opportunity to present excerpts from "Between the Sheets" - it's a MUST-SEE for any RA fan! Be warned! At times, it gets VERY hot! Not for a PG-13 crowd :0) But don't look away - you won't regret it! I am not really sure who owns the copyright - NOT ME, of course.

A contemporary spy series consisting of 10 one-hour episodes starring Richard Armitage and Michelle Forbes.

Guided by jaded veteran Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans), Daniel learns to contend with the rough-and-tumble world of a field officer — agent-running, deception, danger and moral, compromises.

In 2013, Richard Armitage came to Popcorn Taxi - and brought his army with him! 700 cheering members of the Armitage Army came to the Cremorne Orpheum to hear Thorin Oakenshield discuss his work, his career, and himself. A candid, light-hearted evening ensued and fans left genuinely thrilled, as they got to listen to (and speak to) the King of the Dwarves, before seeing a screening of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, in honour of the film's BD, DVD and Ultraviolet release. For more from the evening: http://www.popcorntaxi.com.au If you were lucky enough to be there on the night, relive the experience now.

Thursday night Richard Armitage was at the 41st Saturn Awards in Burbank, California "just picking up Peter Jackson's trophy" for Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies win, but says he wasn't expecting one for himself. Armitage won Best Supporting Actor in a Film, also for The Battle of Five Armies, but when we were able to speak with him from the red carpet, we also got some scoop on Hannibal's current season. Armitage shares quite a bit about his process of crafting and becoming the character Francis Dolarhyde, a.k.a. The Red Dragon, and said he thinks fans will be really pleased with his arc. Also, he teased a scene showrunner Bryan Fuller also mentioned recently, one that had the crew gasping and Armitage "frightened" to perform. Cannot. Wait. You can check out the full int...
