Simon Callow CBE, born on 15 June 1949 in London, is a renowned British actor, director, and writer. His multifaceted career spans theatre, film, and television, earning him numerous accolades and a devoted following.
Callow’s journey in the entertainment industry began unconventionally, working in the box office of the National Theatre. It was there that he discovered his passion for acting, making his stage debut in 1973.
His breakthrough came in 1979 when he played Mozart in the original stage production of Peter Shaffer’s “Amadeus” at the Royal National Theatre. This performance catapulted him to prominence and led to his first film role.
Throughout his career, Callow has appeared in numerous beloved films. These include “A Room with a View” (1985), “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (1994), and “Shakespeare in Love” (1998).
“Being an Actor” is Callow’s first book, written at the encouragement of legendary literary agent Peggy Ramsay. It offers a critique of ‘director dominated’ theatre and contains autobiographical sections relating to his early career.
This book is particularly significant as it marked one of the first times an actor had publicly come out about their homosexuality. It provides a unique perspective on the theatre world of the 1980s.
