Biografía
Since his training at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, Rupert Evans has become internationally recognized for his film, television and theatre work in a wide range of acclaimed projects.
Evans starred in the second season of the Amazon series "The Man in the High Castle" from "The X-Files" creator Frank Spotnitz and Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions. Evans plays 'Frank Frink,' an artist and an intellectual with a secret. Set in 1962 and based on Philip K. Dick's Hugo Award-winning novel, the 10-episode series explores an alternative reality in which Nazi Germany and Japan won World War II and occupy the United States.
Earlier in 2016, Evans starred in STX Entertainment's genre film The Boy, alongside Lauren Cohan. The thriller centers on a young American nanny, working for a family whose son has just passed away and she thus finds herself in charge of caring for a lifelike doll that the couple treats as a real child.
Rupert can be seen in American Pastoral, Ewan McGregor's directorial feature film debut, which he also stars in. Based on Philip Roth's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, American Pastoral follows Seymour "Swede" Levov (McGregor), a legendary high school athlete, who grows up to marry a former beauty queen and inherits his father's business. His seemingly perfect life shatters when his daughter rebels by committing a deadly act of terrorism during the Vietnam War. Evans plays the role of McGregor's younger brother. Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning also co-star in the film.
In October 2014, Evans starred in the award-winning horror feature The Canal, directed by Ivan Kavanagh. The Canal premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival to stellar reviews, with Evans singled out for his 'impressive' turn.
Evans' feature film debut was the lead character of FBI agent 'John Meyers' in award-winning director Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of Mike Mignola's comic book Hellboy. He also starred alongside Rachel Weisz in Alejandro Amenabar's historical drama Agora, which was screened out of competition at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
Evans has been praised for his work in some of Britain's best dramas. In 2014, he was seen in the role of Ian Fleming's older brother 'Peter' in "Fleming," the biopic of the life of the celebrated Bond novelist for Sky Atlantic and BBC America. Evans appeared in "World Without End," the follow-up to 2010's critically acclaimed "The Pillars of the Earth." He also starred in the Golden Globe-nominated® adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma", and was applauded for his performance in the BAFTA and IFTA nominated "Fingersmith" with Sally Hawkins. Other British television credits include: "The Village," "Lucan," "Poirot: The Labours of Hercules," "The Secrets," "The Little House," "North and South," "Rockface" "The Palace" and "Sons and Lovers."
Rupert's theatre credits are also extensive, having starred in numerous productions for some of London's most prestigious theatres. He headlined in productions for the Royal Shakespeare Company, both in the title role of Romeo & Juliet and the 'Dauphin' in King John, for which he was nominated for The Ian Charleson Award. Other theatre credits include: Life is a Dream (Donmar Warehouse), Kiss of the Spider Woman (Donmar Warehouse), Fear (Bush Theatre), His Mighty Heart, Psychogeography (Bush Theatre), Breathing Corpses (The Royal Court) and Sweet Panic (Duke of York's Theatre).
