Nigel Havers

Highest Rated: 90% The Whistle Blower (1987)

Lowest Rated: 53% Penelope (2006)

Birthday: Nov 6, 1949

Birthplace: London, England, UK

This handsome, aristocratic British actor, with sandy hair and aquiline nose, has advanced from stage roles and film and TV bits in the 1970s to leads in films and --increasingly--TV in the 1980s and 90s. The son of a Lord Chancellor (from 1979-87), Havers acted in a radio show as a child and worked as a researcher before appearing in London stage productions of "Conduct Unbecoming" (1969), "Richard II" (1970), "Man and Superman" (1977) and "Family Voices" (1980).
