Born:
October 09, 1937
in
Mexborough, South Yorkshire
Best Known For:
His booming voice.
Early-life:
Born October 9, 1937, in Mexborough, South Yorkshire, but grew up the son of a coal miner in nearby Goldthorpe. He developed a passion for exploring as a youngster, but was bitten by the acting bug in his teens and appeared in many amateur dramatic productions alongside the likes of Keith Barron and Patrick Stewart. He left school at 14 and helped support his family via a variety of jobs after his father was injured in an accident at work. Brian eventually joined the Bristol Old Vic, where he studied with Peter O'Toole.
Career:
Blessed started out on the stage, but gained fame playing Fancy Smith in Z Cars from 1962 to 1965. He's rarely been out of work since and has tackled a wide variety of roles on TV, stage and in films. Among his most memorable projects are Henry VIII and his Six Wives, I, Claudius, Flash Gordon, The Black Adder, Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing and Hamlet. More recently, he featured in Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace and Oliver Stone's Alexander. In 2014, he was the subject of an edition of Who Do You Think You Are? He is in constant demand for voiceover work.
Quote:
"We're frightened of silence. We all need 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, like Jesus Christ."
Trivia:
Away from showbusiness, Blessed has attempted to scale Everest on numerous occasions and recorded directions for a satnav device after a campaign by his fans on a social networking site.
