Happy 80th Birthday, the Olivier and Tony Award winning Scottish actor and director Ian McDiarmid.

Born in Carnoustie in 1944, McDiarmid is an actor who slips under most people’s radar, quiet and unassuming, he is well known for those who are fans of the Star Wars franchise, as the menacing Palpatine, Palpatine gets a brief mention in the first movie then appears as a hologram in The Empire Strikes back before a full appearance in Return of the Jedi, reprising the role in the three later films. He is also the first actor in the Star Wars films to both physically play a Sith Lord, and provide the voice in the animated offerings.

McDiarmid studied for an M.A. in Clinical Psychology at The University of St Andrews, but eventually found that his calling was in theatre. He went to the Royal Academy in Glasgow, where he received the prestigious gold medal for his work. He now has a highly successful career as a theatre director, and from 1990 until his retirement in 2001 was Joint Artistic Director of London’s Almeida Theatre in Islington. He and his co-director Jonathan Kent revived the Almeida and persuaded many Hollywood stars including Kevin Spacey, Ralph Fiennes and Anna Friel to tread the boards in their humble theatre.

His acting credentials are impressive, in the 70’s he took roles in Red Letter Day,The Likely Lads and The Professionals, the 80’s as well as Star wars, he was in the Disney flic, Dragonslayer, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Gorky Park. The 90’s saw him in Inspector Morse and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and The Phantom Menace. In the past 19 years he has been in Spooks, City of Vice and Utopia, the original Channel Four offering, not the US remake.

We last saw Ian in The Rise of Skywalker. He has also received numerous awards in the theatre for his work, including an Olivier award for Best Actor in a New Play in 1982.

Ian has recently been on the stage starring an Harold Pinter;s The Caretaker last month.

Minor throwaway sentence in a book on corruption I've just finished was talking about 1930s gangsters and about certain organisations in Chicago which the author stated were more ethnically diverse than the Italian mafia, and whose members were said to have included 'Irish, Welsh, Italian, and Jewish' gangsters.

Now call me sheltered but I've seen MANY Italian American gangsters immortalised in film, I've heard of the Jewish mob, and the police Irish American gangs but I have yet to see a movie about the Welsh mob. As a rule I don't go in for gangster movies but I feel there's an unfilled niche here and also I need more info.

Thinking about the fact that in my Shakespeare class this morning we were watching the Shakespeare Uncovered documentary for Hamlet (which is the one David Tenant hosts) and my teacher went "yeah so we watched one of these before for our twelfth night unit but this one's a little different because it focuses on hamlet more as a character, plus it's hosted by a fairly well known actor that some of you might know, or ever revere-"

SIR I MENTIONED THAT I LIKED HIM AS BENEDICK IN MUCH ADO ONCE DONT USE IT AGAINST ME INFRONT OF THESE PEOPLE
