Welsh actor
Born: February 5, 1969
Even though he had burned up the London stage for nearly a decade–and appeared in several films–Michael Sheen was not really “discovered” by American audiences until his critically-acclaimed turn as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the 1999 Broadway revival of “Amadeus”.
Sheen was born in Newport, Wales, the only son of Irene (Thomas) and Meyrick Sheen. The charming, curly-haired actor grew up a middle-class boy in the working-class town of Port Talbot, Wales. Although his parents worked in personnel, they shared with their son a deep appreciation for acting, with Meyrick Sheen enjoying some success later in life as a Jack Nicholson impersonator.

- No matter how difficult things are, and no matter how much grief and loss there is, you can turn it into something positive.
- When you look at all the miracles attributed to Jesus, they’re all about change.
- As a general thing, I’ve always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.
- Acting itself is quite scary. Some people say that actors are show-offs, very egotistical and all that kind of stuff, but it is quite scary.
