Full Ken Stott Biography
Kenneth Campbell Stott (born 1955) is a Scottish actor, particularly known in the United Kingdom for his many roles in television. Stott was born in Edinburgh to a Scottish father and a Sicilian mother. He was educated at George Heriot's School.
For three years in his youth he was a member of a band called Keyhole, members of which later went on to form the Bay City Rollers. After attending Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London, Stott began working in the theatre for the Royal Shakespeare Company, but for some years his earnings from acting were minimal and he was forced to support himself by also working as a double glazing salesman. This is echoed in the character he plays in Takin' Over the Asylum.
His highest-profile television roles have included the leading character, DCI Red Matcalfe, in the BBC crime drama series Messiah (BBC One, 2001-05); DI Chappell in ITV police drama The Vice (1999-2003); as a drunk who fantasises about finding redemption by joining the Salvation Army in Promoted to Glory (ITV, 2003); as Adolf Hitler in Uncle Adolf (ITV, 2005) and as a fictional Chancellor of the Exchequer in Richard Curtis's The Girl in the Café (BBC One, 2005).
Stott has continued to act in the theatre, and in 1997 was nominated in the best actor category at the Laurence Olivier Awards for his role in the play 'Art' in 1996.
In 2006 he starred in the detective series Rebus, a television adaptation of the Ian Rankin novels. In 2007, Ken stared in the third episode of ITV1's You Don't Know You're Born. In 2008, he will provide the voice for Trufflehunter, a badger loyal to Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. In November 2007, it was announced that Stott would be portraying comedian Tony Hancock in a BBC4 production entitled 'Hancock and Joan', which looks at the tragic comedian's relationship with the wife of his best friend, and the circumstances leading to his suicide in 1969.
Aged thirty, Stott married a director's assistant named Elizabeth, and they had one child, Bill, in 1985. However, the marriage later broke up and Stott's current partner is the actress Di Sherlock. |
