Ian Hart (born Ian Davies; 8 October 1964) is an English stage, television and film actor.

Early life

Hart, the grandson of Irish immigrants,[1] was one of three siblings brought up in a Roman Catholic family.[2] He attended the Cardinal Allen Grammar School (now the Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School) and was, in his teens, a member of the Everyman Youth Theatre before studying drama at the now-defunct Mabel Fletcher College of Music and Drama in Liverpool.

Career

From 1988 to 1991, Hart studied video production at South Mersey College (now part of Liverpool Community College). He portrayed a Republican militiaman in the Spanish Civil War in Land and Freedom (1995), an unemployed Liverpool shipyard worker in Liam (2000), and the malevolent Professor Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001). Hart has played John Lennon twice — in The Hours and Times (1991) and in Backbeat (1994) — and has also played Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

On television, he played Doyle's creation Dr. Watson in two Sherlock Holmes television movies, shown on BBC One over the Christmas seasons in 2002 and 2004.

He also played schizophrenic paparazzo Don Konkey in the FX series Dirt in 2007 and 2008.

In 2009 he played Tom Ripley, in adaptations for BBC Radio Four, of all five of Patricia Highsmith's "Ripliad" series, and also the character of Jake in the BBC1 drama Moving On in May 2009. He is currently appearing alongside John Simm, Lucy Cohu and Kerry Fox in the Duke of York's Theatre production of Andrew Bovell's play Speaking In Tongues. After the performance on 23rd November, Hart went into the audience and remonstrated with a man whom he had earlier told to "shut up" from the stage. Eye witnesses say that the actor assaulted the audience member.[3]

Personal life

Hart's wife is named Lynne. The couple has two daughters — Daisy (born 1997) and Holly (born 2001) — and live in Crouch End, North London. He is an Everton F.C. supporter.
