Biography

Anthony Andrews made his West End theater debut at the Apollo Theatre as one of twenty young schoolboys in Alan Bennett's "Forty Years On" alongside John Gielgud.

He began his career at the Chichester Festival Theatre in the UK, where he performed in various productions, including spells with the New Shakespeare Company in "Romeo and Juliet" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Anthony's theater credits also include the Royal National Theatre production of Stephen Poliakoff's "Coming in to Land" with Maggie Smith, directed by Peter Hall, the much-acclaimed Greenwich Theatre production of Robin Chapman's "One of Us", and as "Pastor Manders" in Robin Phillips's highly acclaimed production of Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts" at the Comedy Theatre in London, produced by Bill Kenwright.

Anthony's first television appearance was in The Wednesday Play: A Beast with Two Backs (1968) by Dennis Potter, which was part of The Wednesday Play (1964) series.

He then landed his first leading role in a series as the title character in the BBC's The Fortunes of Nigel (1974) by Sir Walter Scott.

Anthony distinguished himself in various television classics, playing "Mercutio" in Romeo & Juliet (1978) and starring in three different plays in the "Play of the Month" (1976) series, including playing "Charles Harcourt" in "London Assurance".

He also starred in Danger UXB (1979),in which he played bomb disposal hero "Brian Ash".

Anthony's most iconic role was as the doomed "Sebastian Flyte" in Brideshead Revisited (1981) for which he won a BAFTA in the UK, the Golden Globe award in the USA, and an Emmy nomination for Best Actor.

He went on to star in Jewels (1992),for which he received another Golden Globe nomination.

Most recently, Anthony has received tremendous acclaim for his outstanding portrayal of "Count Fosco" in "The Woman In White" at the Palace Theatre in London's West End.

As a producer, he co-produced Lost in Siberia (1991),which translates as "Lost in Siberia", filmed entirely in Russia, which received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Film and Haunted (1995),produced by his own production company, Double 'A' Films.
