Biography

Benjamin Whitrow was a softly-spoken English actor trained at RADA who began performing on stage in 1959. During the 1960s, he spent seven years working under Laurence Olivier's direction at the National Theatre. Whitrow was also a prolific screen actor, often cast in avuncular roles. He is best remembered for his BAFTA-nominated portrayal of Mr. Bennet in the BBC's acclaimed 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. His final film appearance was in Gary Oldman's Darkest Hour (2017), portraying Churchill. In his personal life, he enjoyed wild orchids, golf, bridge, and collecting books, and had a son, Angus Imrie, with actress Celia Imrie.
