brian blessed

Brian Blessed (born October 9, 1936) is a respected English actor. He is a large, charismatic man with a booming voice who often plays powerful men in Shakespearian and medieval dramas. He is the son of a South Yorkshire miner and once lived in Goldthorpe. He has been criticised for what his critics see as his use of shouting as an all-purpose characterization technique and was described by one magazine as "the loudest man alive". Blessed is also an adventurer. On three occasions, he has tried to climb Mount Everest; climbing higher than any other man of his age, in 1993. Blessed currently lives in Surrey. He is married to Hildegarde Neil and has a daughter, Rosalind.
