#Fact
1Partner of actor Geoffrey Burridge.
2He was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1972 Queen's New Year Honours List for his services to drama.
3He has appeared in two adaptations of William Shakespeare's play "Henry V": Henry V (1979) and Henry V (1989). He played the Chorus in the former and the Bishop of Ely in the latter.
4McCowen's one-scene role as a Cardinal in "The Agony And The Ecstasy" is uncredited, perhaps because of the actor's dissatisfaction with the way his already-brief role was trimmed during the editing. Essentially, the part was a single speech, a venomous diatribe against Michelangelo. It was not only shortened in the editing, it was also almost entirely played off a close-up of Charlton Heston listening to him. McCowen has always insisted that this foreshortening of his performance was done at Heston's insistence, although the two men worked again five years later in "The Hawaiians".
5Friend of Alan MacNaughtan.
6He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1986 Queen's New Year Honours List for his services to drama.
7Was nominated for Broadway's Tony Awards three times: as Best Actor (Dramatic), in 1969 for "Hadrian VII," and in 1971 for "The Philanthropist;" and as Best Actor (Play), in 1979 for "St. Mark's Gospel."
8Graduated from RADA.
9Became an Associate Member of RADA.
10He was awarded the 1982 London Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Actor for his performance in The Portage of San Cristobal of AH.
11Famous for his one-man stage show in which he recited the whole of St. Mark's Gospel.
12Also author of books about acting.
13Attended The Skinners' School, Tunbridge Wells, UK.
