Privat: Like a number of
British actors of the same generation ( John Hurt
and Alan Rickman,
to name two), Roger Rees was originally trained for the visual
arts. He acted in church and Boy Scout stage productions while
growing up in London, but studied painting and lithography at
the Slade School of Art, and his first paying jobs in show
business were as a scenery painter. He turned to acting on a
full-time basis in the mid-1960's. After his fourth audition,
the Royal Shakespeare Company finally hired him as a bit
player in 1968. He then worked his way up through the R.S.C.'s
ranks, finally achieving stardom in the early 1980's in its
production of 'The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby',
for which he won both an Olivier award
and a Tony award.
He was also nominated for an Emmy award
for the television version of the play. By this time he had
several TV movies to his name, but he did not make his
large-screen debut
until Star 80
(1983). More recently he has acted in several British and
American TV series and in a number of independent films. Rees remains primarily a man of the theatre, however, with
secondary careers as a playwright and stage director. He lives in the United States since 1989. |
