Andy Lucas trained in the Stanislavski method at East 15 Drama School under Joan Littlewood and Margaret Berry. His first role after graduating was on a nationwide tour of England performing Berthold Brecht's 'Fears' and 'Miseries of the Third Reich.' During this tour, he was discovered and landed his film debut in John Schlesinger's 'Yanks,' starring alongside Richard Gere and Vanessa Redgrave.
This marked the beginning of a long series of American roles for Andy, including parts in Warren Beatty's 'Reds' and, most recently, 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.' His film credits also include 'Alien Vs Predator,' 'Quadrophenia,' 'Sexy Beast,' and 'Half Moon Street.'
Awarded a Fuji Film scholarship, Andy co-wrote, produced, and starred in 'Just Looking,' which earned several BAFTA awards, including one for him personally. His extensive television career spans shows such as 'Minder,' 'The Professionals,' 'Birds of a Feather,' 'The Bill,' 'Judge John Deed,' 'Hotel Babylon,' 'Benidorm,' 'Casualty,' 'Lovejoy,' 'Spaced,' 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet,' 'The Line of Beauty,' 'Lock Stock: The TV Series,' 'Soldier, Soldier,' and the notorious 'Eldorado.'
His West End theatre credits include 'Cross from the Garden of Allah' at the Comedy Theatre with Glenda Jackson and Nigel Hawthorne, 'Extremities' with Helen Mirren, the award-winning 'Short Eyes' at the Young Vic, Woody Allen's 'Death' at the Donmar Warehouse—a groundbreaking production that inspired the charity Childline—and 'The Complete Casanova' at the Warehouse Theatre.
Andy has produced and directed numerous theatrical productions across the Fringe, Mainstream, West End, Donmar Warehouse, Jermyn Street, and Hampstead venues. He is also active in radio, performing in drama, comedy, and voice-over work.
When his schedule allows, Andy leads ongoing method workshops for professional actors seeking to challenge themselves within a creatively liberating environment.
