Jonny Coyne

ACTOR

Jonny was born the middle child of a seamstress and a professional footballer. His earliest performances were in school productions including a celebrated double bill of Oscar Wilde's "The Ballad Of Reading Gaol" and Ovid's "Chariot Of The Sun" in which he played respectively the Judge and Phaeton. The production and Jonny in particular won rave reviews in the national press (Unusual for a lowly school production ) but Jonny got the bug and his mentor -the director of the productions and himself a renowned writer and intellectual- Robert Tanitch, encouraged him to audition for Theatre schools. Jonny won a place at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London where he was awarded the Hannam Clarke award on graduation. He chose to work in the theatre which is his first love and to which he frequently returns between film and television work. After working for many years in Theatre, TV and Film in the UK and with the imminent screening of his most recent films "Sharpe's Peril"
