Adrian Lester, star of Hustle, the RSC and the National Theatre. Comes from South Edgbaston, grew up in the flats opposite the Earl Grey pub, back of Belgrave Road Police Station. Started off acting at the Midland Arts Centre just down the road.
There are quite a few other actors from Brum that have made it in the last couple of decades, but they are not always the first on peoples lists. Andrew Tiernan is a prime example. Ladywood born and bred. Google him, you'll know his face, he's been in everything, but people don't tend to know his name. He's another one who started at the MAC.
