About: | Date of Birth: August 7th, 1975 Place of Birth: Scotland Most noteable roles: Les Misérables -- Marius, The Mists of Avalon -- Mordred, Doctor Zhivago -- Yury Zhivago Hans Matheson was born in a caravan on 7th August 1975 at Stornaway, Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Shortly after, his family moved to Canterbury, Kent in England but Hans often spent his summer holidays on Stornaway with his grandparents, As a child, his parents Iain (Ado) and Sheena often took him and his younger brother to folk festivals and Bob Dylan concerts. His father Ado is a musician and his grandfather was a Gaelic Singer and Songwriter before him performing at concerts and ceilidhs throughout Scotland. His great-grandfather was crowned the Celtic Bard in recognition of his writing in the 50's. Hans claims to have been a shy and introverted child who was not happy at school. He left school and, at the suggestion of his mother, auditioned for drama school; Avondale Hall in Clapham. At the suggestion of his teacher and mentor, he auditioned for a Jez Butterworth TV show called Christmas and this led to a role in Mojo on stage at the Royal Court Theatre and later in the film version of the same name. Roles in TV shows Bramwell, Wycliffe and Family Money followed and films Stella Does Tricks, Still Crazy and Bodywork. His first break on the international arena came with the his casting as Marius in Bille August's production of the Victor Hugo classic Les Miserables. He then starred in the European films "Canone Inverso"and "I Am Dina" and the television mini-series "The Mists of Avalon". His major role to date has undoubtedly been the lead role as Yury Zhivago in the 2002 Granada Television adaptation of "Doctor Zhivago"the famous Russian novel by Boris Pasternak, where he co-starred with Keira Knightley and Sam Neill. Hans is not only a talented actor but plays guitar, violin and harmonica and writes his own songs. He prefers the simple things in life to pursuing fame and fortune. He takes his guitar with him everywhere and prefers to travel by train rather than by air, even if the trip takes days rather than hours. ----------- Actor biography taken from Hans Matheson Online Rules: # No Hans flaming # No advertising of anything not related to Hans # Feel free to post icons/banners/wallpapers dedicated to Hans # If posting more than one picture please use an LJ-cut # If you're a new member, please introduce yourself :o) Introduction: # What's your name: # How old are you: # Where do you live: # First Hans movie you ever saw: # Favourite Hans movie: # Got a website you'd like to share: (please no massive pimping of your site, just a link will suffice) # E-mail address?
