About Ken Stott......

Ken Stott was born in Edinburgh. After moving to London to study at Mountview Theatre School he spent his early career establishing himself as one of Britain's finest theatre performers.
A regular at the National and in London's West End, he received an Olivier Award for BROKEN GLASS, and a nomination for his role in hit West End play, ART.

Despite a glowing reputation in the realms of theatre, TV audiences remained in the dark until belatedly introduced to his talents via the award-winning 1995 BBC series, TAKING OVER THE ASYLUM.
Wider public recognition followed in 1999 after he made 'a conscious decision to raise his profile' and took the lead in ITV's hit cop-drama THE VICE.
Since then, lead roles in the BBC's outstanding MESSIAH thrillers and the current REBUS adaptations have captivated audiences, making Ken a household name.

His film credits include CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR, CASANOVA, KING ARTHUR, SHALLOW GRAVE, and the lead role in THE DEBT COLLECTOR, a part written specifically for him.

However, popularity was never Ken's motivation and, with TV executives placing increasing value on his ability to pull in high audience figures, Ken has recently expressed the desire to concentrate more on film and theatre.

About the site...

This unofficial site has been a celebration of the extraordinary talents of Ken Stott.

It has grown to over 200 pages, featuring up-to-date information on his career in theatre, television and film...including synopses, production notes, quotes, interviews, plus many sound and video bites, not to mention over 400 pictures..!

I've followed Ken's career since 1995 and launched the site in 1998 with the aim of bringing together what scarce information there was on the man once dubbed 'the greatest actor Scotland never knew it had'.
Things have changed a bit for Ken since then and he is now deservedly acknowledged as a great actor not just in his homeland, but all over the world. Long may that continue...

Regretably however, some things must end. This anniversary 10th year of the Ken Stott Appreciation site will also be its last. It will be closing down in the summer of 2008.

The site has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors in its time. I've enjoyed running it and chatting with some of those people. I hope all those who dropped by got some pleasure from it too.
