Classically trained, with a voice like none other, he has a range for rogues and other multi-faceted characters on television, the silver screen, as a voiceover artist, and on the boards.

This spring, he will leave his dark side behind to play Nick Frost’s salsa dance instructor in the independent feature "Cuban Fury," a heartfelt comedy from director James Griffiths.

McShane recently played the lead dwarf, Beith, opposite Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron in "Snow White and the Huntsman," the dark fantasy from director Rupert Sanders.

McShane also had strong and memorable appearances in the U.S. on "Dallas," and in the saga "War and Remembrance." He played Sejanus in the miniseries "A.D.," the eponymous "Disraeli," produced by Masterpiece Theater, and Judas in NBC’s "Jesus of Nazareth."

NEWTON THOMAS SIGEL NEWTON THOMAS SIGEL (Director of Photography) began his career as a painter and experimental filmmaker at the Whitney Museum in New York City.

Upon catching the eye of Haskell Wexler, Sigel was given his first narrative opportunity on "Latino," a film based on Newton's own life experiences in combat.

Gaining more ground while shooting second-unit with Oliver Stone on "Platoon" and "Wall Street," it wasn't long before Sigel was a renowned cinematographer in his own right. "The Usual Suspects," with its elegant photography has become a cult-classic. "Three Kings" made groundbreaking use of exotic film stocks and lab processes, and "Superman Returns" was the first movie ever shot with the Panavision Genesis camera, and has been seen as the marker of the new digital age.
