At Sounds and Stage, we don’t just care about the shows, but also the performers, the directors, the creatives and everyone else. With that in mind, we’re launching a new biography section of the website, titled “Perfomer Database”, to give you a little encyclopedia of who’s who and where you’ve seen them before. Please, bear with us as we add to the list!
If you have a name you wish to add, please email an up-to-date biography and credited photo to [email protected] – and we’ll upload as promptly as possible.
Matt Lucas
Actor, author, comedian, presenter, and writer Matt Lucas is one of the most recognisable personalities in British television.
He first captured audiences’ attention with his breakout role as the eccentric George Dawes in the iconic comedy panel show ‘Shooting Stars’. However, it was his collaboration with David Walliams on the BAFTA-winning series ‘Little Britain’ that cemented his status as a household name.
Over the years, Matt has built an impressive portfolio with standout roles in films such as ‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘Paddington’, and ‘Bridesmaids’. His television and screen work includes memorable appearances in ‘Doctor Who’, co-hosting ‘Fantasy Football’ on Sky Max, and starring in Warner Bros’ musical fantasy ‘Wonka’. This year, Matt can be seen in Ridley Scott’s ‘Gladiator 2’.
On stage, he regularly returns to the role of Thénardier in Les Misérables, having first triumphed in the role in the 25th Anniversary Concert at the O2 and later in the production at the Gielgud, before starring in the West End stage production.
