Raymond Andrew Winstone ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|ɪ|n|s|t|ən}}; born 19 February 1957) is an English television, stage, and film actor with a career spanning five decades. Having worked with many prominent directors, including Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, Winstone is known for his "hard man" roles, usually delivered in his distinctive London accent.
Besides playing gangster roles, Winstone has also worked in comedy (Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence) and as the romantic lead (Fanny and Elvis). He starred as Henry VIII in the 2003 TV serial of the same name.{{cite web |title=A gangster king thing |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/features/a-gangster-king-thing-90415.html |website=The Independent |date=2 October 2013 |access-date=10 June 2023}} He has appeared in many TV shows, including Robin of Sherwood (1984 to 1986), The Bill, Boon, Ever Decreasing Circles, One Foot in the Grave, Home To Roost, Birds of a Feather, Kavanagh QC, and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
Winstone received a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role nomination for his performance in Nil by Mouth (1997). He also starred in the British independent films Scum (1979), Quadrophenia (1979), The War Zone (1999), Last Orders (2001), and Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010). Winstone's other notable films include Sexy Beast (2000), Ripley's Game (2002), Cold Mountain (2003), King Arthur (2004), The Departed (2006), Beowulf (2007), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), Hugo (2011), Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), Black Widow (2021), and Damsel (2024).
Early life and education
Winstone was born on 19 February 1957 in Hackney Hospital, London.{{Cite web|url= http://www.copperlily.com/AboutRayWinstone/RWbiog.htm |title= Ray Winstone Biography |work= copperlily.com |date= 28 September 2007 |url-status= dead|archive-date= 29 August 2000 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20000829042443/https://www.copperlily.com/AboutRayWinstone/RWbiog.htm}} He first lived in Caistor Park Road, Stratford E15, and attended Portway infants and junior school. He moved to Enfield when he was seven. His mother, Margaret (née Richardson; 1932–1985) had a job emptying fruit machines, and his father, Raymond J. Winstone (1933–2015), ran a fruit-and-vegetable business.{{cite news |title=Culture, Arts and Entertainment |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/?xml=/arts/2008/05/11/sv_raywinstone.xml |url-status=dead |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131206215749/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/?xml=/arts/2008/05/11/sv_raywinstone.xml |archive-date=6 December 2013}}
Winstone has recounted how, as a child, he used to play with his friends on bomb sites (empty plots of land with rubble from Second World War bombs). He joined Brimsdown Primary School and in 1968, enrolled to Edmonton County School,{{Cite web|url= http://www.ecsosa.org.uk/theschool/pupils/ |title= Edmonton County former pupils|work= ecsosa.org.uk |access-date= 7 February 2005}} which had changed from a grammar school to a comprehensive upon his arrival. He also attended Corona Theatre School. He did not take to school, eventually leaving with a single CSE (grade 2) in drama.
He recounted an early encounter with a notorious gangster:
{{blockquote|text="I was still a baby the day Ronnie Kray came round to see Dad, but I've been told this story so many times I can see it unfolding in my mind. Everyone was on their best behaviour, but then Ronnie picked me up, and by all accounts I pissed all over him. He had a new mac on, which had probably cost a few bob, and I absolutely covered it. The room fell silent, then Ronnie cracked up, so everyone knew it was safe to join in."{{cite news |last=Wintle |first=Angela |title= Time and place: Ray Winstone |url= https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/uk-travel/england/london-travel/time-and-place-ray-winstone-mtppw2zv9sp |work= The Times |date=January 11, 2015 |archive-date= 3 October 2021 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://archive.today/20211003224534/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/time-and-place-ray-winstone-mtppw2zv9sp }}}}
Winstone had an early affinity for acting; his father would take him to the cinema every Wednesday afternoon. Later, he viewed Albert Finney in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and said: "I thought, 'I could be that geezer'." His other major influences included John Wayne, James Cagney, and Edward G. Robinson. After borrowing extra tuition money from a friend's mother, a drama teacher, Winstone took to the stage, appearing as a Cockney newspaper seller in a production of Emil and the Detectives.
Winstone was also a boxer. Known to his friends as Winnie, he was called Little Sugs at home (his father already being known as Sugar, after Sugar Ray Robinson). At the age of 12, Winstone joined the Repton Amateur Boxing Club. Over the next 10 years, he won 80 out of 88 bouts. He was London schoolboy champion at welterweight on three occasions, and fought twice for England. The experience gave him a perspective on his later career: "If you can get in a ring with 2,000 people watching and be smacked around by another guy, then walking onstage isn't hard."{{cite web |title=Ray Winstone |url=http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Ray_Winstone |website=boxrec.com |access-date= 5 May 2023}}
Deciding to pursue drama, Winstone enrolled at the Corona Stage Academy in Hammersmith, when he was aged "about 17".{{cite web |title=Ray Winstone: 'I used to be a raving lunatic' |url= http://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/sep/02/ray-winstone-decca-aitkenhead-actor |website=The Guardian |date=2 September 2010 |access-date=22 July 2021}}{{cite news |title=Q&A with actor Ray Winstone |url=https://www.ft.com/content/55358572-343d-11e7-99bd-13beb0903fa3 |url-access=subscription |newspaper=Financial Times |date=12 May 2017 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/55358572-343d-11e7-99bd-13beb0903fa3 |archive-date=10 December 2022}} At £900 a term, it was expensive considering the average wage was then about £36 a week.{{cn|date=April 2025}} He was ultimately expelled for vandalising the head's car.
1970–1988
In 1975, Winstone landed his first professional role in What a Crazy World at the Theatre Royal, Stratford in London.{{cite web |title= What a Crazy World |url=http://www.copperlily.com/AboutRayWinstone/crazyworld.html |work= copperlily.com |date=1975 |access-date= 23 November 2003}} One of his first TV appearances came in the 1976 "Loving Arms" episode of the popular police series The Sweeney,{{cite web |title= Ray Winstone Credits |url=https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/ray-winstone/credits/3000189033/ |work= tvguide.com |access-date= 16 March 2024}} where he was credited as "Raymond Winstone" (as he was in What a Crazy World) and played a minor part as an unnamed young thug.
Winstone auditioned for Alan Clarke's BBC play Scum (1979). Because Clarke liked Winstone's cocky, aggressive boxer's walk, he got the part, though it had been written for a Glaswegian. The play, written by Roy Minton and directed by Clarke, was a brutal depiction of a young offender's institution. Winstone was cast in the leading role of Carlin, a young offender who struggles against both his captors and his fellow cons to become the "Daddy" of the institution. Hard hitting and often violent, the play was judged unsuitable for broadcast by the BBC, and was not shown until 1991. The banned television play was entirely refilmed in 1979 for cinematic release with many of the original actors playing the same roles, including Winstone. In a commentary for the Scum DVD, Winstone cites Clarke as a major influence on his career and laments the director's death in 1990 from cancer.{{cite web |title=Scum – Indicator Blu-Ray Review |url=http://blueprintreview.co.uk/2019/06/scum/ |date=18 June 2019}}
After a short run in the TV series Fox (1980), and a role in Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1982), alongside Diane Lane and Laura Dern. He starred in the opening episode of the third season of Bergerac (1983), as Will Scarlet in Robin of Sherwood. He again teamed up with Jason Connery in a film which also featured Amanda Donohoe and Maria Whittaker, in Tank Malling (1984).
1990–2003
Winstone was asked to appear in Mr Thomas, a play written by his friend and fellow Londoner Kathy Burke. The reviews were good, and led to Winstone being cast, alongside Burke, in Gary Oldman's drama Nil By Mouth (1997). He was widely lauded for his performance as an alcoholic wife-batterer, receiving a BAFTA nomination (17 years after his Best Newcomer award for That Summer). He continued to play "tough guy" roles in Face and The War Zone – the latter especially controversial, as he played a man who rapes his own daughter – but that obvious toughness also allowed him to play loved-up nice-guys in romantic comedies Fanny and Elvis and There's Only One Jimmy Grimble. In Last Christmas, he played a dead man, now a trainee angel, who returns from heaven to help his young son cope with his bereavement which was written by Tony Grounds. In 1995, he played the sinister and mysterious Thane in the comedy drama series The Ghostbusters of East Finchley. The series was also written by Grounds, with whom Winstone worked again on Births, Marriages & Deaths and Our Boy, the latter winning him the Royal Television Society Best Actor Award. They worked together again in 2006 on All in the Game where Winstone portrayed a football manager. He did a series of Holsten Pils advertisements where he played upon the phrase "Who's the Daddy", coined in the film Scum.
In 2000, Winstone starred alongside Jude Law in Love, Honour and Obey. He then played lead role in Sexy Beast (2001), which earned him great acclaim from UK and international audiences and brought him to the attention of the American film industry. Winstone plays "Gal" Dove, a retired and happily married former thief dragged back into London's underworld by a psychopathic former associate (Ben Kingsley, who received an Oscar nomination for his performance). In 2000, he starred in To the Green Fields Beyond at the Donmar Warehouse and directed by Sam Mendes. In 2002, he performed at the Royal Court as Griffin in The Night Heron. Two years later, he joined Kevin Spacey for 24 Hour Plays at the Old Vic, a series of productions that were written, rehearsed, and performed in a single day.
After a brief role alongside Burke again in the tragi-comic The Martins (2001), he appeared in Last Orders (2001), where he starred alongside Michael Caine, Helen Mirren, David Hemmings, and Tom Courtenay. Next, Winstone got a prime part in Ripley's Game (2002), the semisequel to The Talented Mr. Ripley, in which he once again played a gangster. He followed up with Lenny Blue, the sequel to Tough Love, and the short "The Bouncer". Now internationally known, Winstone was next chosen by Anthony Minghella to play Teague, a sinister Home Guard boss in the American Civil War drama Cold Mountain (2003).
According to actor Dominic West, Ray Winstone was the original choice to play the now iconic role of "Jimmy McNulty" in the HBO series The Wire (2002). West stated Winstone turned down the role because he did not want to live in Baltimore, Maryland, and the role subsequently went to West.
2004–2012
At this time, Winstone set up Size 9 and Flicks production companies with his longtime agent Michael Wiggs. The first effort was She's Gone, in which he plays a businessman whose young daughter disappears in Istanbul (filming was held up by unrest in the Middle East). He followed it up with Jerusalem, in which he played poet and visionary William Blake.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}} Winstone made his action-film debut in King Arthur (2004), starring Clive Owen, directed by Antoine Fuqua, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Fuqua lauded his performance, proclaiming he was "the British De Niro". Winstone provided the voice of Soldier Sam in the screen version of The Magic Roundabout. In 2005, he appeared opposite Suranne Jones in ITV drama Vincent about a team of private detectives. He returned to the role in 2006 and was awarded an International Emmy. He also portrayed a 19th-century English policeman trying to tame the Australian outback in The Proposition. In 2006, American critic Roger Ebert described Winstone as "one of the best actors now at work in movies".{{cite web |last=Ebert |first=Roger |title=The Proposition Movie Review & Film Summary (2006) – Roger Ebert |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-proposition-2006 |website=www.rogerebert.com}}
A complete change of pace for Winstone occurred when he provided the voice for the cheeky-chappy Mr. Beaver in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, also in 2005. Winstone appeared in Martin Scorsese's 2006 film The Departed as Mr. French, an enforcer to Jack Nicholson's Irish mob boss. Critic Roger Ebert singled out Winstone for praise among the ensemble cast of The Departed, writing that the actor "invests every line with the authority of God dictating to Moses".[https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-departed-2007 Roger Ebert review, The Departed] He provided motion capture movements and voice-over work for the title character in the Robert Zemeckis' film Beowulf. He then co-starred in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which was released on 22 May 2008. He returned to television drama in The Changeling-inspired Compulsion, originally shown in May 2009. Since 2009, Winstone has fronted the advertising for betting firm Bet365.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/sep/02/ray-winstone-decca-aitkenhead-actor|title=Ray Winstone interview|newspaper=The Guardian |date=9 February 2010 |accessdate= 9 December 2022 |last1=Aitkenhead |first1=Decca }} He also co-founded a sports-management business, Integral Sports Management, in 2020.{{cite news |last1=Phillips |first1=Chris |title=Why Ray Winstone will be supporting Ryan Peniston at Wimbledon |url=https://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/20236149.ray-winstone-will-supporting-ryan-peniston-wimbledon/ |access-date=25 May 2023 |work=Echo |date=25 June 2022}}
Winstone has mixed work in Hollywood productions with work in lower-budget, independent films. In 2010, Winstone starred as Arjan van Diemen in the film Tracker with Temuera Morrison{{cite web |title=Ray Winstone |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935653/ |website=IMDb}} He had a role as CIA agent Darius Jedburgh in the Edge of Darkness remake, replacing Robert De Niro.{{cite news|last=Fleming|first=Michael|title=Winstone replaces De Niro in 'Edge'|work=Variety|date=12 September 2008|url=https://variety.com/2008/film/markets-festivals/winstone-replaces-de-niro-in-edge-1117992081/|access-date=12 September 2008}} Winstone starred in British independent film The Hot Potato in 2011, and the following year in a big-screen remake of popular 1970s show The Sweeney (2012).
2013–present
In April 2013, while a guest host of the comedy quiz show Have I Got News for You, he provoked controversy by stating that Scotland's chief exports were "oil, whisky, tartan, and tramps", leading to a headline in The Scotsman claiming, "Ray Winstone calls Scots 'tramps' on TV quiz show". Viewers complained to Ofcom and the BBC.{{cite news|url=http://www.scotsman.com/what-s-on/tv-radio/ray-winstone-calls-scots-tramps-on-tv-quiz-show-1-2914017|title=Ray Winstone calls Scots 'tramps' on TV quiz show|date=15 January 2014|work=The Scotsman|access-date=15 January 2014}} In 2015, he played the role of ex-criminal Jimmy Rose in The Trials of Jimmy Rose, a three-part drama for ITV.

In 2015, he starred in The Gunman with Sean Penn; the film was a box-office failure.
