Nigel Lindsay
Since leaving the City for drama school in the early 90s, Nigel has been a stalwart of British theatre, TV and film. He was Olivier nominated for Shrek at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and won the Whatsonstage Best Supporting Actor for Arthur Miller’s Broken Glass at the Tricycle. He has appeared at the Donmar, the Royal Court, the Almeida Theatre, and both The Old Vic and Young Vic. Nigel twice played Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls in the West End. He was seen opposite Lindsay Lohan in Speed the Plow at the The Playhouse, with Jim Broadbent in Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman at the National, and as Bolingbroke to David Tennant’s Richard II at the RSC. On TV, Nigel was Sir Robert Peel in the popular ITV series Victoria and was most recently on screen in Salisbury, White Gold, Unforgotten, The Capture, Safe, The Tunnel, and Magnum PI. In film he was Ewan McGregor’s boss in Rogue Trader and Steve Coogan’s boss in Alpha Papa. But Nigel is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Barry in the BAFTA‐winning Four Lions, for which he received a nomination for Best Performance in Film at the British Comedy Awards.
