Initially notable in the U.K. for playing the gormless Barry Taylor in all five series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, (1983-2004) he has since starred in films such as Secrets & Lies, Shooting the Past, Rock Star, The Last Samurai, and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. He gained international recognition as Peter Pettigrew ("Wormtail") in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Spall played the starring role of Albert Pierrepoint in the 2005 film Pierrepoint, which was released as The Last Hangman in the United States. In the 2006 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Spall voiced Phil Collins' manager, Barry Mickelthwaite. In 2007 he will star as Beadle Bamford in Tim Burton's production of Sweeney Todd.

In 1996 Spall was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, but has since been in remission. He has said of his illness:“"I didn't know what made me ill but stress had something to do with it and the point is now to head off stress at the pass. It made me aware of things and become more selective. I am less worried about employment. I really do my homework so I am not getting stressed on the set because I don't know what I'm doing."” |
