Tom Conti, one of Britain's most gifted and versatile comedic actors, was born in Paisley, Scotland. He made his professional acting debut at the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre in 'The Rowing Boy', and went on to perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company in an acclaimed production of 'The Devil's Disciple' at the Aldwych in London, and then to New York, where he garnered praise for numerous leading roles, as well as a Tony award and a wide and loyal fanbase. After his appearance in Frederick Raphael's 'The Glittering Prizes', he was dubbed 'the thinking woman's crumpet'. Although he no longer lays claim to the title, he considers it his greatest accolade! Conti won a Variety Club Award for his portrayal of Ken Harrison in 'Whose Life Is It Anyway?', and then an Academy Award Nomination. He has appeared in 22 feature films, most famously as the archetypal Greek lothario in 'Shirley Valentine', and is also an accomplished director, having staged productions of 'Before The Party', 'The Housekeeper' and 'Last Licks'. Most recently he starred in ITV's two-part psychological thriller, 'Donovan'. He lives in London NW3.
