biography

Tobias Menzies was born on March 7, 1974 in North London, England. His surname is Scottish and was originally pronounced Mingis. Menzies grew up playing tennis and would have turned pro if acting hadn’t happened to him. He was also an expert swordsman. Despite not following his first love, he still relaxes after work by playing tennis. The young lad had many activities to keep him busy through childhood. Nonetheless, his journey into the world of acting began in his teenage years. His interest in acting was sparked after frequent visits to theatrical productions with his mother. Acting ultimately proved to be a publication he initially failed to find.

He attended Perry Court Rudolf Steiner School in Canterbury, Kent and then Frensham Heights School near Farnham in Surrey at the same time as Jim Sturgess. He later enrolled in Stratford-upon-Avon College’s year-out acting course in 1993-94, where he trained in the Steiner system, which involved daily movement, singing and musical instruments. He then went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where he met and became friends with Sally Hawkins. He studied acting and graduated in 1998 with a BA. Menzies also worked for the British improv comedy company Spontaneity Shop and was thus ready to start his career.

His career began in some of the most popular series on British television and in no time he became a popular crowd pleaser. Some of his earliest work includes Foyle’s War (2002), Midsomer Murders (2000), Accident (1998-2000) and the feature film The Low Down (2000), in which he had a starring role.

He also portrayed Keith in the 2005 film, A Very Social Secretary, directed by Jon Jones, and from 2005 to 2007 he starred as Marcus Junius Brutus in the HBO/BBC historical drama series Rome. It was his role in Rome that made him known to international audiences. He appeared in the 2006 reboot of the James Bond film franchise, Casino royale in 2007 as Villiers the ITV film adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion as William Elliot and in Atonement alongside Sairose Ronan and Kiera Knightley and in Channel 4’s dramatization of Belsen’s Relief Broadcast on October 15th.

From 2014 to 2017 he co-starred in the TV series, Outlander in a dual role; as Frank Randall, a 20th-century historian and Jonathan “Black Jack” Randall, his brutal 18th-century ancestor, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination and won the 2015 EWwy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Tobias Menzies Family & Brother

The Outlander actor is the first son of Gillian(née Simpson), English teacher of literature and drama, and Peter Menzies, BBC radio producer. His only sibling is his younger brother Luke, who is a lawyer. Her parents divorced when Tobias was just 6 years old.

homosexual rumours

Tobias Menzies is known to have private personal life. As such, he has had some rumors and speculation about his sexuality, particularly after portraying sadistic gay rapist Jack Randall in Outlander. Being gay doesn’t come naturally to the British actor. He once had an affair with his co-star Kristen Scott Thomas in 2005. That might serve to establish his preference, right?

Is he married? – Girlfriend

Kristen Scott and Menzies met on the set of the London production of Pirandello As You Desire Me. Although Kristen was married at the time to French IVF specialist Professor Francois Oliviennes, with whom she had three children, she still maintained a romantic relationship. However, the merger should not go beyond the shutter of a camera. Several facts argued against it, including the large age difference between them (she is 14 years old) and an imminent separation from her husband of 17 years stemming from their separation.

Even though they broke up at some point, unfortunately their marriage wasn’t successful either. Menzies had no other known relationship after their breakup. Maybe he still misses Kristin. In any case, we wish that he finds a partner soon.

height

Menzies is not only talented but also endowed with a good physique. He is 1.85 m tall and has a trim body which in one way or another has increased his appeal to directors.
