Roy Marsden

Roy MarsdenWorking full time in the theatre. Roy has chosen to devote his full attention to acting and directing on stage. His latest effort was his own production of “A Christmas Carol” that he not only directed but also played Scrooge. His days as Commander Adam Dalgliesh are surely over as the new BBC production of PD James’ latest book “Death in Holy Orders” will star Martin Shaw as Dalgliesh. [March 2003]

On his television series “Airline”: It was one of the most enjoyable programmes I ever made. Learning to fly those old DC-3s was terrific. And I enjoyed playing Ruskin enormously because he had hope. Of course, he was a pain up the tushie most of the time, but then you’d see that youthful desire to actually get out and triumph against enormous odds. I identified with that character the most.
