The Honourable Nigel Allan Havers (born November 6, 1949) is a popular British actor, known mainly for his television work. The son of a former Lord Chancellor, the Right Honourable Lord Havers, the former Michael Havers QC, he was born in London and educated at the Arts Educational School.
Filmography
His first film appearance was a small part in Pope Joan (1972), but his first major success came with the leading role in a BBC dramatisation of Nicholas Nickleby (1977), closely followed by another BBC drama serial, A Horseman Riding By. By the time he appeared in Chariots of Fire (1981), he was a familiar face on television. Despite appearing in films such as Empire of the Sun (1987) and A Passage to India (1984), he never made a name as a film star, but has notched up a succession of starring roles on television. He co-starred for several years in the 1980s BBC sitcom, Don't Wait Up, alongside Tony Britton.
