Richard McCabe (born 1960) is a Scottish actor. Richard (Bill) McCabe was born in Glasgow to a Scottish father and French mother (Richard is his Equity name). He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), where he won several awards. Following the early death of his father and his mother's re-marriage, he grew up in Sussex where he still lives. His partner is costume designer, Fotini Dimou. Although he has appeared in several high-profile films, McCabe is primarily a classical actor and has been an Associate Artist of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) since 1997. He is also an accomplished musician and composer and plays various keyboards including the piano and the accordion. He was a member of Ten Pole Tudor in the 1980s, before their chart topping success with 'Swords of a Thousand Men', and always intended to be a musician rather than an actor. Until the end of March, McCabe is at the Young Vic reprising his role of Ben Jonson alongside Patrick Stewart (as Shakespeare) in Edward Bond's Bingo. McCabe's strong stage presence, fine comic timing and expressive face means he is very effective and funny as Jonson, bringing warmth and laughter to a cold, bleak play. Libby LESS
