Early-life:
Martin Shaw was born on January 21, 1945, in Birmingham, the son of a furnace engineer. He made his stage debut at the age of three alongside his parents in an amateur production, continued acting through school, and joined a local theatre group. Encouraged by a drama teacher, he enrolled at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in 1963 and was spotted there by Alec Guinness during a performance of Thunder Rock.
Career:
Shaw's first major TV role was in a 1967 episode of Coronation Street. Keen on Shakespeare, he appeared in a TV movie of Hamlet, and Roman Polanski's 1971 film Macbeth. After impressing TV executives with his performance alongside Lewis Collins as Purdey's ex-fiance in The New Avengers, he landed the part of Doyle in The Professionals. When it was axed after four years in 1981, he went back to the stage. In 1993 he returned to TV with The Chief, and three years later starred in BBC mega-flop Rhodes. Since then, he's appeared in The Scarlet Pimpernel, A&E, Judge John Deed, Death in Holy Orders, Inspector George Gently, Apparitions and picked up a Tony nomination for a Broadway production of An Ideal Husband.
Quote:
"I'm very opinionated and if people cross me at work - if people who don't know about the job try telling me what to do - I become very stubborn and really rather unpleasant."
Trivia:
Shaw is a vegan.
