Richard E. Grant is a British actor who has had some success in mainstream Hollywood features. Grant began acting in his native South Africa, where he founded the multi-ethnic Troupe Theater Company. In 1982, he moved to London to stomp the boards in fringe and repertory productions. Grant made his English TV-film debut in Les Blair’s improvisational satire, “Honest, Decent and True” (1985). The next year, he entered films as the star of “Withnail & I” (1986), writer-director Bruce Robinson’s brilliant observation of the eccentricities of English actors in the 1960s. As the acerbic Withnail, Grant conveyed the great likability of a mostly vile character. He reteamed with Robinson for “How to Get Ahead in Advertising” (1988), a scathing comic indictment of the industry’s morals or lack thereof. Here he was Dennis Dimbleby Bagley, an ad exec whose head is taken over by an evil boil.
