BIO

Last year, the Academy and Tony Award winner led the electrifying West End revival of Cabaret alongside Jessie Buckley. Redmayne starred as The Emcee for which he went on to win the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical and the show won a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards including Best Musical Revival. For the upcoming Broadway production, he will reprise the role and again serve as producer.



Redmayne most recently received critical acclaim and BAFTA, SAG, and Golden Globe nominations for his chilling performance in Netflix’s The Good Nurse. The actor starred as ‘Charlie Cullen,’ one of the most prolific serial killers in history. Prior to this, Redmayne could be seen in Aaron Sorkin’s award-winning The Trial of the Chicago Seven and in the Fantastic Beasts series, which has grossed over $1.8 billion at the global box office to date.

Redmayne gave an Academy Award, SAG, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning performance as ‘Stephen Hawking’ in The Theory of Everything. The actor also received an Academy Award nomination for his performance in The Danish Girl and can be seen in the multi award-winning musical film Les Miserables, in addition to My Week with Marilyn, The Aeronauts, Savage Grace, The Good Sheperd, and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

On stage Redmayne’s impressive body of work includes The Goat, Or Who is Sylvia? for which he won an Evening Standard Award and London Critic’s Circle Award; Now or Later, Richard II (London Critic’s Circle Award), and Red, for which he won both Tony and Olivier Awards.

On television Redmayne has starred in “Birdsong,” “The Pillars of the Earth,” “Tess of the D’Urbervilles,” and next year will play ‘The Jackal’ in an updated reimagining of Frederick Forsyth’s iconic novel “The Day of the Jackal,” which he will also executive produce.
