On February 5, 1969, Welsh actor Michael Christopher Sheen was born. Following his study at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), he predominantly worked in theater during the 1990s, playing roles in Romeo and Juliet (1992), Don’t Fool with Love (1993), Peer Gynt (1994), The Seagull (1995), The Homecoming (1997), and Henry V (1997).
In 1998 and 1999, he received Olivier Award nominations for his performances in Amadeus at the Old Vic and Look Back in Anger at the National Theatre. He received his third Olivier Award nomination in 2003 for his performance as Caligula at the Donmar Warehouse.
Sheen rose to prominence as a movie actor in the 2000s, particularly for his parts in biopics. He played UK Prime Minister Tony Blair in Peter Morgan’s trilogy of films: The Deal in 2003, The Queen in 2006, and The Special Relationship in 2010. These performances won him both a BAFTA and an Emmy nomination.
In addition, he received a BAFTA nomination for his portrayal of troubled comic actor Kenneth Williams in BBC Four’s Fantabulosa! (2006), and a fourth Olivier Award nomination in 2006 for his portrayal of broadcaster David Frost in Frost/Nixon, a role he reprised in the 2008 film adaptation.
In The Damned United (2009), Sheen portrayed controversial football manager Brian Clough.
