Biography

Michael Bryant was a British stage and television actor who attended drama school and made his film debut in 1955. He acted in many London stage productions and was nominated eight times for Olivier Awards, winning three, while also earning three British Academy Television Award nominations for Best Actor. His screen roles included Wing Commander Marsh in the BBC series Colditz, the lead scientist in the television play The Stone Tape (1972), and a psychiatrist in The Ruling Class. He played a British diplomat in Richard Attenborough's Gandhi (1982) and took a cult film role in Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly. Orson Welles cast him as the lead in The Deep, a film that was abandoned. Bryant worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company from 1964 and was later a constant presence at the National Theatre for a quarter of a century, winning Laurence Olivier Awards in 1988 and 1990.
