Biography for Simon MacCorkindale

Born in Cambridge, England in 1952, Simon MacCorkindale's first career choice was to follow in his Air Force pilot father's bootsteps, but his deteriorating eyesight forced him to choose an alternative vocation. He took drama classes following high school graduation and put in much time on the repertory theatre stage, culminating in an appearance in the highly acclaimed production of "Pygmalion" with Alec McCowen and Diana Rigg in 1974. Simon later appeared in several classical TV productions, such as "I, Claudius" (1976) (mini) and "Jesus of Nazareth" (1977) (mini). His major breakthrough in film was as a charming and cunning murderer in Death on the Nile (1978), with similar roles in such films as The Riddle of the Sands (1979). Hollywood became an option for him in the 80s and he found his patrician good looks well suited for TV, with series roles in soap operas ("Falcon Crest") as well as adventures ("Manimal"). Since then Simon has delved into stage projects featuring as both director and actor, notably in "Macbeth" and "The Merchant of Venice". Divorced during his early career from actress Fiona Fullerton, he subsequently married Brit actress Susan George, also producing a few of her films. He focused for a time as a producer/director/writer on a variety of personal projects, but has since concentrated again on performing.

Simon is now starring as a consultant in the popular british TV hospital drama Casualty.

Originally from Cambridge, Simon Maccorkindale has all the British charm and rigor. In 1974, he started in a B series near Richard Harris, Anthony Hopkins and Omar Sharif.

Nice beginning, which continues in prestigious TV movies like Jesus of Nazareth or Othello.

In 1983, he went to the USA to shoot in the third episode (in 3 dimensions) of the teeth of the sea. He then left in the world of animals with Manimal then he frequented the business world in Falcon Crest.

In 1991, he went to Canada to play in the Strong Force series. Subsequently, he continues to shoot in the three countries in TV movies that are not always successful.

Simon Maccorkindale was a British actor known for his roles in films and television series. He was born on February 12, 1952 in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England. He started his career as an actor in 1976 and played in several films and television series during his career. Among his best known roles are those of Harry Rule in the television series "Manimal" and Jonathan Chase in "The Animal Man".

Maccorkindale also played in films such as "Death On The Nile" and "Jaws 3-D". In addition to his acting career, he was also a producer and director. Unfortunately, Maccorkindale died in 2010 at the age of 58 from lung cancer.

In addition to his roles in cinema and television, Maccorkindale also played in plays, notably in "Design for Living" and "The Caretaker". He was also an active member of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), where he was elected president in 2006.
