Jim Carter

Jim Carter is perhaps best known to today’s audience for his portrayal of the curmudgeonly butler Mr Carson in ITV’s hit drama Downton Abbey. For this role he has won 3 Screen Actor’s Guild Best Ensemble Cast Awards and been nominated 4 times at the EMMY Awards.

Jim started out as an actor over 50 years ago, working in fringe theatre – playing in pubs, streets and community centres. In the late 1970’s he attended a circus course in New York where he honed his skills as a tightrope walker and a juggler. He performed a comedy magic act for over 30 years.

After a season with the Royal Shakespeare Company and two and a half years at the National Theatre in the early 80’s, where he met and married Imelda Staunton, Jim has spent the last 30 years working in film and television. A Private Function, Brassed Off, Shakespeare in Love, The Singing Detective and Cranford are a few of his personal favourites.

Jim was most recently seen in the two Downton Abbey Feature Films.

I’m delighted to be returning to the Kiln, my favourite theatre, to interview the multi-talented Rob Brydon and to host a question-and-answer session with the audience.

Actor, comedian, singer, impressionist, quiz show host, writer, chat show host, traveller, national treasure. Which is the real Rob Brydon? Come along on May 16th to find out for yourself.
