From his appearance as Ronald Merrick in the television adaptation
of The Jewel in the Crown to his recent role in the hit play King
Charles III, Tim Pigott-Smith has been recognised as one of
Britain's most loved contemporary actors. On stage his work
encompassed the Bristol Old Vic, Royal Shakespeare Company,
National Theatre, West End and Broadway. He acted with Jeremy
Irons, Charles Dance, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Peggy
Ashcroft and Judi Dench and collaborated with a host of famous
directors, from his late friend Howard Davies, to John Huston and
Peter Hall. In his memoir, Do You Know Who I Am?, Pigott-Smith
describes the actor's craft with witty anecdotes and fascinating
insight. He recalls his childhood and early beginnings in the paint
shop at the RSC Stratford, the life of a jobbing actor in 1960s and
70s London, strange meetings with glamorous Hollywood producers,
filming a football match with Pele in Hungary, the epic Indian saga
of The Jewel in the Crown and more recent projects such as Mike
Bartlett's King Charles III, first performed at the Almeida Theatre
and later transferred to Wyndham's Theatre in the West End,
Broadway and to film. What is the story of Judi Dench and the black
glove? What was it like to visit Michael Caine's LA mansion? How
does one produce the character of the complex and unforgettable
Corporal Merrick? Humorously written, warm, engaging and
accompanied by black and white photographs, Do You Know Who I Am?
is an entertaining memoir from one of our great acting talents. Tim
Pigott-Smith died in April 2017, shortly before this book was
published, having passed final proofs for press.
