Havill has appeared in more than 40 films and 50 plays beginning in the late 1980s. After training in Oxford and London,[1] he began his career in repertory theatre in 1989 and made his screen debut in 1993. As a character actor, Havill has appeared in many British costume dramas.[2]

Education

Havill attended the University of Exeter, where he read English and drama.[3] He spent four years with the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain with roles in London theatre productions including For Those in Peril at the Shaw Theatre, As You Like It at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park, and Reynard the Fox on the Drum Theatre Plymouth and south-west tour. At the Jeanetta Cochrane Theatre, Havill appeared in Henry V, Twelfth Night, and A Proper Place. He spent a further four years with the Royal Shakespeare Company.[4]

Havill is also an alumnus of the Oxford University Dramatic Society with roles in Oxford theatre productions including Twelfth Night at the Oxford Playhouse,[5] The Recruiting Officer at New College Cloisters, and As You Like It at Lady Margaret Hall Gardens.[4]

Career

Theatre

Havill began his career with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). In 1989, he portrayed Lysander at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream[5] and Reynaldo at the Barbican Theatre's production of Hamlet. He appeared in the Fortune Theatre's productions of The Woman in Black in 1989 and 1996.[6]

Throughout the 1990s, Havill performed in a number of plays at London's West End and elsewhere. He portrayed several characters at the Barbican Theatre in an RSC production of A Clockwork Orange and at The Pit London in A Woman of No Importance.[5] In conjunction with the RSC, Havill's focus was Shakespeare; in 1990, he portrayed George Seacoal in Much Ado About Nothing, Peter Arnold in Two Shakespearean Actors and The Merchant in The Comedy of Errors; from 1991 to 1992, he portrayed Sir William Bagot in an RSC production of Richard II at the Barbican Theatre in London.[4]

In 2003, Havill played Group Captain Windbreak in Justin Butcher's production of The Madness of George Dubya at the Arts Theatre in London. Michael Billington wrote in The Guardian that "Butcher's production... has a surprising jauntiness; ... Andrew Havill as an ineffectual group captain... stand[s] out."[7] The following year, Havill was cast as the Reverend James Morell in George Bernard Shaw's Candida, for which The GuardianTemplate:'s Lyn Gardner wrote "Much of the pleasure of Christopher Luscombe's well-observed period production is in watching Andrew Havill's interesting Morell move from confident self-belief to bewildered self-doubt as he starts to understand that even goodness is a form of selfishness."[8] Havill's other stage roles of the 2000s include working with Alan Ayckbourn on his play Virtual Reality, a West End production of Jean Anouilh's Ring Around the Moon, and roles in director Chris Luscombe's productions of The Comedy of Errors and The Merry Wives of Windsor at Shakespeare's Globe. Of the latter, Gardner wrote "Havill's comic timing is a joy."[9]

Havill also appeared as Frank Ford in The Merry Wives of Windsor US tour of 2010. Ben Brantley commented in The New York Times, "As Ford... the excellent Mr. Havill is exactly as serious as he needs to be, reminding us that one of comedy’s main functions is to defuse bombs that in real life often explode and destroy."[10] In 2012 and 2013, he was part of the original cast of James Graham's play This House, at the National Theatre, directed by Jeremy Herrin.[11] His work has included three roles at Hampstead Theatre in the plays Farewell to the Theatre, Drawing the Line, and Wonderland,[12] and a portrayal of the English physician Sir Gilbert Wedgecroft in a National Theatre production of Waste, with Anne Cox writing "Havill offers excellent support... as always."[13] In 2019, Havill portrayed Warren Lewis at the Chichester Festival Theatre's production of Shadowlands opposite actors Liz White and Hugh Bonneville,[14] having appeared with Bonneville in the Template:Film year film of the same year.[15]

Television

Havill made his television debut in Lucy Gannon's Soldier Soldier in 1993, followed by a portrayal of English critic John Davenport in The House of Elliot Series 3 the following year.[16] From 1997 to 1998, Havill worked with Lynda La Plante on her drama series Trial & Retribution, playing Clarence Oxley on Trial & Retribution I and Crispin Oxley on Trial & Retribution II. Havill starred in two 1999 television mini series: Aristocrats and Wives and Daughters as Charles Bunbury and Sir Charles Morton respectively.[17][18]

In the 2000s, his television roles included portraying Manet on The Impressionists, Elizabeth David (in which he featured as the husband of cookery writer Elizabeth David in the docudrama after whom it was named),[19] and Daphne. He played the Chief Steward in the Christmas Doctor Who episode "Voyage of the Damned"[20] and was in the BBC drama Spooks Series 8.[21][22]

In 2011, Havill portrayed the Reverend Conrad Walker on ITV's Midsomer Murders (in the episode The Night of the Stag). In 2012, he was cast as the Royal Equerry, Harry, in the episode A Scandal in Belgravia of the mystery crime drama Sherlock due to his reputation for playing "well-spoken upper-class types."[23] His work of the 2010s includes playing Victor McKinley on the BBC's Father Brown, Edward Sidwell on The Coroner Series 1, episode 8 (Napoleon's Violin), and Gareth Anderson on Vera (in the episode Natural Selection) in 2017.[21]

Havill played factory owner Douglas Broome in the 2021 series The Nevers,[24] and Professor Lucius Stamfield in Endeavour of the same year. In the fifth and sixth seasons of The Crown, he portrayed Robert Fellowes, the Queen's private secretary and brother-in-law of Princess Diana. He and twelve other cast members were nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for their roles in The Crown.[25] In 2024, he portrayed the criminal defence lawyer Stuart Wentworth QC in the British television drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office.[26]
