Sidney John Kean was born on October 1 1950 in London, UK. Sidney's career has spanned over five decades and has included extensive work in the theatre, most recently in the acclaimed productions of Girl From The North Country at The Gielgud Theatre, London directed by Conor Mcpherson, and The Berberian Sound Studio at The Donmar Warehouse, London directed by Tom Scutt, cinema, television and radio. Naturally, he is equally at home in all these different fields. He is especially gifted at picking up accents and dialects from around this country and the rest of the world and making them sound natural and native. It was in the Reps and National Tours that he learn't the art of "deliberately staying there, watching and listening to other performers". It is often said that the best Actors are the ones that listen... Sidney is a past master at this art. He has superb comic timing as well as magnetic stage presence. He is also a breeze to work with! Sidney has numerous credits to his CV, has been performing professionally all his life and has excelled at theatrical roles as diverse as Agatha Christie to Shakespeare, lighthearted comedy to dark tragedy, experimental performance art to pantomime, musical Theatre to farce, serious television and film drama to Children's Theatre. His work has led to him travelling extensively nationally and globally and has worked with perhaps some of the finest Actors and Directors of his generation including Rod Steiger and Sir Lawrence Olivier.Read more
