Trevor John Eve (born 1 July 1951) is an English actor. In 1979 he gained fame as the eponymous lead in the detective series Shoestring and is also known for his role as Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd in BBC television drama Waking the Dead. He is the father of three children, including actress Alice Eve. He is the winner of two Laurence Olivier Awards from the nineties in theatre.

Early life

Eve was born in Sutton Coldfield,[1] near Birmingham,[2] the son of Elsie (née Hamer) and Stewart Frederick Eve. His father, a publican,[2] was English, and his Welsh mother was from Glynneath. Educated at Bromsgrove School,[2] he had little acting experience during his school days.[2] He studied architecture at Kingston Polytechnic (now Kingston University) in London.[3] He lost interest and dropped out of the course to pursue acting.[4] He enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating in 1973 with an Acting (RADA Diploma).[5]
