Paul McGann

Highest Rated: 92% Withnail and I (1987)

Lowest Rated: 17% Queen of the Damned (2002)

Birthday: Nov 14, 1959

Birthplace: Liverpool, England, UK

This handsome, stage-trained English actor first made his name in the cult hit "Withnail and I" (1987), Bruce Robinson's wry look at the less "swinging" side of 1960s London. Paul McGann was Peter Marwood, the narrator and character who matures as he finally becomes a working actor.
