Robert Addie(1960-2003)

Son of a dancer and an American serviceman. Was adopted by a wealthy English couple at the age of 6 months.

John Boorman gave me the job as Mordred because of my resemblance to his son, Charlie, who played Mordred as a boy. I'd say that was a lucky break. I was a keen horseman and professional polo player, having ridden since childhood. Both roles required the actor to be able to handle a horse. So I already had my advantage.
