Daniel Massey

London-born Daniel Massey is the son of Canadian actor Raymond Massey and British actress Adrienne Allen. Daniel was nine years old when he made his first film appearance in 1942's In Which We Serve, playing the son of his real-life godfather, Noel Coward. Twenty-six years later, Massey was Oscar- nominated for his portrayal of the selfsame Coward in the Gertrude Lawrence biopic Star (1968). Essentially a stage actor, the Eton-educated Massey has appeared in films on an average of once every two years, nearly always playing bored, brittle cynics. One of his later films was In the Name of the Father (1993), in which he played the prosecutor (and persecutor) of Daniel Day-Lewis. Massey has been married twice, to actresses Adrienne Corri and Penelope Wilton. Daniel Massey's younger sister, Anna Massey, has also pursued a successful stage and screen career.
