Biography

British supporting actor seen in film and in TV comedy roles as well as appearances on stage in Shakespeare productions. His first professional role was in "Hamlet" at RADA in 1955, moving on to TV comedy roles and hitting his stride in "The Good Life," April 1975 through June 1978. He followed up with "Ever Decreasing Circles;" a role that he portrayed to perfection until December 1989. In January 1990, he returned to stage and his beloved Shakespeare roots, taking on the role of Lear for a world tour with fellow actor Kenneth Branagh. Briers was honored with an OBE nomination in 1989.

Personally, he is known for driving energy and a large temper, even though he suffered with extreme stage fright for many years.
