Notes

Jonathan Hyde is an Australian-born actor who moved to Britain in 1969. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1972, the recipient of the Bancroft Gold Medal. Jonathan is possibly best known for his leading roles in cult-hit films such as RICHIE RICH, TITANIC, THE MUMMY and JUMANJI among many others. On the smaller screen, Jonathan most recently played the regular role of Eldritch Palmer in four seasons of FX TV series THE STRAIN and was seen playing David Napley in A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL directed by Stephen Frears for Amazon/BBC. Jonathan has worked extensively in London’s West End, most recently as Lionel Logue in The King’s Speech in 2012. Other more recent theatre includes a world tour of King Lear and The Seagull for the RSC, and Travels with My Aunt in 2013 at the Menier Chocolate Factory. He has also worked significantly at the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Prospect Theatre Company, Almeida and the great Citizen’s Theatre Company of Glasgow. Last year he was nominated for an Olivier for his role in GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM at the Park Theatre. Jonathan is a principally a character actor who has played a wide range of high-definition roles, from Lady Bracknell to the Marquis de Sade, Diaghilev to Captain Hook, Valmont to Brutus. He currently stars in indie feature SEBASTIAN which premiered at Sundance and is set for its UK premiere at the LFF this year. He also plays a key part in the Venice Film Festival stand out feature THE BRUTALIST for Protagonist Pictures. On the small screen, he can be seen in the final series of THE CROWN. Jonathan is an enthusiastic swimmer, painter and traveller.
