Early life and education

[edit]

Hannah was born in East Kilbride in Lanarkshire, the youngest of three children; he has two older sisters.[1] His mother, Susan, was a cleaner at Marks & Spencer, and his father, John, a toolmaker.[2][3]

He attended Heathery Knowe Primary School then Claremont High School in East Kilbride and went on to an apprenticeship as an electrician. In East Kilbride, he participated in the East Kilbride Rep Theatre Club. At the suggestion of a colleague, after completing his apprenticeship he then attended the prestigious Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

After graduation, Hannah had parts in theatre productions, films and television, including leading roles such as Robert in the television adaptation of Frederic Lindsay's novel Brond (Channel 4, 1987).[4]

He became known internationally with his appearance as Matthew in Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He played a psychopathic killer alongside Helen Baxendale in Truth or Dare, and a mystery-solving pathologist in McCallum.[citation needed]

On 24 December 1997, Hannah and Scottish Films producer Murray Ferguson established a production company called Clerkenwell Films. Clerkenwell's first big production was the Rebus series, including Black And Blue and The Hanging Garden. However, Rebus was later taken in-house by STV Productions, and Hannah was replaced in the leading role in the series by Ken Stott.[citation needed]

Hannah played the Monty Python-quoting love interest of Gwyneth Paltrow in the romantic comedy Sliding Doors (1998). He starred in the axed U.S. series MDs (2002), well as making guest appearances in various other series.[citation needed]

He played a comic role as the brother of the female lead in The Mummy (1999), The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008).[citation needed] In 2007–08, he played a starring role in the ITV crime drama Cold Blood.[5]

He was the voice of the Co-operative Group adverts in Europe. He played the part of Quintus Lentulus Batiatus, the owner of a gladiator training house, in Spartacus: Blood and Sand and the prequel Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.[citation needed]

Hannah played the recurring role of scientist Holden Radcliffe on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a recurring role during season three and got promoted to series regular during season four in 2016.[6]

From 2017 he played Archie Wilson in the BBC series Trust Me.[7]

Hannah plays the role of Dr. Jedidiah Bishop on the medical drama Transplant on CTV Canada.[citation needed][when?]

He is[when?] also the narrator of BBC reality series Race Across the World, where five pairs of Brits travel across the world without taking a plane for just the price of the flight.[citation needed]

Personal life

[edit]

Hannah married actress Joanna Roth in 1996.[8] The pair met several years before during a studio production of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. In many of his interviews, he mentions stories from their relationship, such as their visit to London's Sri Siam restaurant where he proposed to her in writing on the tablecloth. They live in Richmond, London with their two children.[9]
