Rory Kinnear

Rory Kinnear was only 12 years old when his father, Roy Kinnear died in a tragic horse riding accident, while on location in Madrid, Spain, filming Die Rückkehr der Musketiere (1989). "The Return of the Musketeers" was one of two films which were dedicated to Roy, the other being A Man for All Seasons (1988).

I can tell you it's all bullshit. It feels like my name has been randomly chosen to satisfy the public appetite. I can firmly deny that I am the next Doctor Who (2005). I don't know what the motive was - to be honest I can't even be bothered to think about it. Having said that, the rumour doesn't do any harm. I just know the show as something that's out there in the ether. I realise that it's really popular and that it's an important job for an actor.
