Paul Scofield
David Paul Scofield CH CBE (21 January 1922 – 19 March 2008), better known as Paul Scofield, was an English actor of stage and screen who was known for his striking presence, distinctive voice, and for the clarity and effortless intensity of his delivery. Regarded as one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of all time, Scofield preferred the stage over film. This, and his decision to put his family first, has meant that he has never been as well known outside the United Kingdom as some other actors.
Outside his homeland, Scofield is best known for his Academy and BAFTA Award- winning performance as Sir Thomas More in the 1966 film A Man for All Seasons. Scofield had originally played the same part onstage at the West End and in a Tony Award-winning performance on Broadway.
Actress Helen Mirren, who appeared with Scofield in the 1989 film When the Whales Came, said of him, "He aspires to the soul rather than the character. He has no sense of personal ambition. He's one of our great, great actors. We're lucky to have him."

Famous quotes by Paul Scofield:
"A painting means as much to you as a string of pearls to an ape."
"Oh, I suppose my wife and I will open a bottle of champagne with another couple."
"Sixty-four thousand dollars for a question, I hope they are asking you the meaning of life."
"Cheating on a quiz show? That's sort of like plagiarizing a comic strip."
"I should in fairness add that my taste in music is reputedly deplorable."
"A book is worth a few francs; we Germans can afford to destroy those. We all may not appreciate artistic merit, but cash value is another matter."
"Mr. Parris, you are a brainless man!"
"If you look around the table and you can't tell who the sucker is, it's you."
"What these books have conclusively proven is that the diffence between men and women is exactly 38 pages."

Paul Scofield in Amadeus at the National Theatre
This was a magnificent production. I was so lucky to work on it. Such eloquent writing from Peter Shaffer, leaving Peter Hall needing little more to do than allow these gargantuan talents to just get on with it. John Bury's set design and lighting were a revelation. I'd worked on many West End musicals with their huge rigs and staging, and here Bury's simplicity stunned me. It was minimal without being in the least bit austere. It was pure elegance. Except... except maybe for that huge chandelier (that my drinking buddy Steve Milne up in flies one day sent crashing to the stage!). Young Simon Callow's Mozart was the performance of a lifetime. The part seemed written for him. And maybe it was - Shaffer would sit in on rehearsals making notes which would then become re-writes. But the gr...

The film features extracts from some of his most famous roles, including Sir Thomas More in the Oscar-winning A Man For All Seasons, Salieri in Amadeus and an unforgettable King Lear.
Paul Scofield, in full David Paul Scofield, (born January 21, 1922, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, England—died March 19, 2008), English actor noted for his powerful performances in Shakespearean and other stage roles.
Scofield was trained as an actor at the Croydon Repertory Theatre School (1939) and at the Mask Theatre School (1940) in London. After touring with companies entertaining the troops during World War II, he joined the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and in 1946 moved to Stratford-upon-Avon, where he had his first great success—playing the title role in Henry V, Cloten in Cymbeline, Don Adriano de Armado in Love’s Labour’s Lost, Lucio in Measure for Measure, and Hamlet, among other Shakespearean roles. He had his first starring role in commercial theatre in 1949, playing Alexander the Great in Terence Rattigan’s ill-fated Adventure Story.
Paul Scofield had his greatest success in the role of Sir Thomas More in Robert Bolt’s play A Man for All Seasons, in which he appeared in London in 1960 and in New York City in 1961–62, winning the Antoinette Perry (Tony) Award (1962) and other honours. The next year he appeared at the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario, playing in Coriolanus and Love’s Labour’s Lost. His later successes in the theatre included the roles of Uncle Vanya (1970) and Volpone (1977).
He made his motion-picture debut in 1955, and he played More in the film version of A Man for All Seasons (1966), for which he won the Academy Award for best actor. He later played Lear in Peter Brook’s motion-picture version of King Lear (1971) and Tobias in A Delicate Balance (1973), written by Edward Albee and directed by Tony Richardson, from the Albee play. He also played the French king in Kenneth Branagh’s version of Henry V (1989) and Judge Thomas Danforth in a film adaptation of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible (1996).

This was a magnificent production. I was so lucky to work on it.
Such eloquent writing from Peter Shaffer, leaving Peter Hall needing little more to do than allow these gargantuan talents to just get on with it.
John Bury's set design and lighting were a revelation. I'd worked on many West End musicals with their huge rigs and staging, and here Bury's simplicity stunned me. It was minimal without being in the least bit austere. It was pure elegance. Except... except maybe for that huge chandelier (that my drinking buddy Steve Milne up in flies one day sent crashing to the stage!).
Young Simon Callow's Mozart was the performance of a lifetime. The part seemed written for him. And maybe it was - Shaffer would sit in on rehearsals making notes which would then become re-writes.
But the grand centerpiece was Scofield's Salieri. Watch this clip and weep. And somehow he did that every night...
I also worked on the NT tour with Frank Finlay playing the lead (Scofield refused to tour) and it was remarkable how the two men could deliver the same lines, with the same directions, and yet be so very different. Finlay was Everyman, consumed with jealousy, and feeling he deserved Mozart's genius. While Scofield was the cultured civilized man who really could claim some genuine title to it. A little ironic perhaps that Finlay was an active catholic, and on the tour would seek out the nearest RC church to pray each morning.
I shall never forget Scofield's performance. Such a brilliant actor, and the stage is now very much a lesser place without him.

Peter Brook’s version of King Lear was prompted by an essay by Polish critic Jan Kott titled “King Lear or Endgame”, where Katt writes that Shakespeare's play is a tragedy of the grotesque, “an ironic, clownish morality play, […] a mockery of all eschatologies: of the heaven promised on earth, and the heaven promised after death.” The film was shot in 16mm black-and-white and mostly made in the mid-winter dune country of the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark.

The film features extracts from some of his most famous roles, including Sir Thomas More in the Oscar-winning A Man For All Seasons, Salieri in Amadeus and an unforgettable King Lear.
Paul Scofield, in full David Paul Scofield, (born January 21, 1922, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, England—died March 19, 2008), English actor noted for his powerful performances in Shakespearean and other stage roles.
Scofield was trained as an actor at the Croydon Repertory Theatre School (1939) and at the Mask Theatre School (1940) in London. After touring with companies entertaining the troops during World War II, he joined the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and in 1946 moved to Stratford-upon-Avon, where he had his first great success—playing the title role in Henry V, Cloten in Cymbeline, Don Adriano de Armado in Love’s Labour’s Lost, Lucio in Measure for Measure, and Hamlet, among other Shakespearean roles. He had his first starring role in commercial theatre in 1949, playing Alexander the Great in Terence Rattigan’s ill-fated Adventure Story.
Paul Scofield had his greatest success in the role of Sir Thomas More in Robert Bolt’s play A Man for All Seasons, in which he appeared in London in 1960 and in New York City in 1961–62, winning the Antoinette Perry (Tony) Award (1962) and other honours. The next year he appeared at the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario, playing in Coriolanus and Love’s Labour’s Lost. His later successes in the theatre included the roles of Uncle Vanya (1970) and Volpone (1977).
He made his motion-picture debut in 1955, and he played More in the film version of A Man for All Seasons (1966), for which he won the Academy Award for best actor. He later played Lear in Peter Brook’s motion-picture version of King Lear (1971) and Tobias in A Delicate Balance (1973), written by Edward Albee and directed by Tony Richardson, from the Albee play. He also played the French king in Kenneth Branagh’s version of Henry V (1989) and Judge Thomas Danforth in a film adaptation of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible (1996).

The Film
A Man for All Seasons is a 1966 British historical drama film directed and produced by Fred Zinnemann, adapted by Robert Bolt from his play of the same name. It depicts the final years of Sir Thomas More, the 16th-century Lord Chancellor of England who refused both to sign a letter asking Pope Clement VII to annul Henry VIII of England's marriage to Catherine of Aragon and to take an Oath of Supremacy declaring Henry Supreme Head of the Church of England.

"Paul Scofield kept the listener with him for every inch of the way...Mr. Scofield's performance was ... quivering with sensibility and never far from hysteria, working from one appalling action to the next with the perverted energy of a man cutting across the grain of his nature. Mr. Scofield's mastery of verse is unsurpassed by anyone except Gielgud in the modern theatre, and here his exhausted pauses and savagely renewed attack on the lines turned the language itself into a physical symbol of the moral laws whose weight he was heaving aside". "Getting Across the Inwardness of Macbeth", The Times of London, 30 April 1966.

This was a magnificent production. I was so lucky to work on it.
Such eloquent writing from Peter Shaffer, leaving Peter Hall needing little more to do than allow these gargantuan talents to just get on with it.
John Bury's set design and lighting were a revelation. I'd worked on many West End musicals with their huge rigs and staging, and here Bury's simplicity stunned me. It was minimal without being in the least bit austere. It was pure elegance. Except... except maybe for that huge chandelier (that my drinking buddy Steve Milne up in flies one day sent crashing to the stage!).
Young Simon Callow's Mozart was the performance of a lifetime. The part seemed written for him. And maybe it was - Shaffer would sit in on rehearsals making notes which would then become re-writes.
But the grand centerpiece was Scofield's Salieri. Watch this clip and weep. And somehow he did that every night...
I also worked on the NT tour with Frank Finlay playing the lead (Scofield refused to tour) and it was remarkable how the two men could deliver the same lines, with the same directions, and yet be so very different. Finlay was Everyman, consumed with jealousy, and feeling he deserved Mozart's genius. While Scofield was the cultured civilized man who really could claim some genuine title to it. A little ironic perhaps that Finlay was an active catholic, and on the tour would seek out the nearest RC church to pray each morning.
I shall never forget Scofield's performance. Such a brilliant actor, and the stage is now very much a lesser place without him.

Paul Scofield
David Paul Scofield CH CBE (21 January 1922 – 19 March 2008), better known as Paul Scofield, was an English actor of stage and screen who was known for his striking presence, distinctive voice, and for the clarity and effortless intensity of his delivery. Regarded as one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of all time, Scofield preferred the stage over film. This, and his decision to put his family first, has meant that he has never been as well known outside the United Kingdom as some other actors.
Outside his homeland, Scofield is best known for his Academy and BAFTA Award- winning performance as Sir Thomas More in the 1966 film A Man for All Seasons. Scofield had originally played the same part onstage at the West End and in a Tony Award-winning performance on Broadway.
Actress Helen Mirren, who appeared with Scofield in the 1989 film When the Whales Came, said of him, "He aspires to the soul rather than the character. He has no sense of personal ambition. He's one of our great, great actors. We're lucky to have him."
