A cockney actor who actually has his East End accent in real life, because he comes from Hackney.
Generally plays the tough man, but can also portray quite a bit of character depth in his performances due to excellent acting abilities.
Was first noted for his starring role in a violent 1979 film called '
Scum', however his finest performance is surely in 'Nil by Mouth' where he plays a violent father living in a South London council
flat, generally calling anyone he meets a
cunt.
Away from the screen is a big West
Ham United fan and one
time spokesman for Kellogg's cereal.
Ray Winstone is a
geezer's
geezer, who brings out the Cockney in all of
us. Rub-a-dub, brown bread etc.
