Rory Kinnear

The actor Rory Kinnear has won two Olivier Awards, played Bill Tanner (M’s chief of staff) in four Bond Movies and his wide acting range has also seen him play Frankenstein’s monster and a fictional British Prime Minister.

Born in London, educated at Oxford and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, if there is such a thing as an inherited performer’s gene, Rory got it.

Both his parents were actors…his father was Roy Kinnear and his mother is Carmel Cryan.

With that kind of lineage - what then will he have chosen as his Inheritance Tracks?
