Peter Capaldi

Scottish actor Peter Capaldi has starred in hundreds of films over his long career and even won an Oscar for directing. His face is recognized all over the world, first of all, thanks to the cult British TV series Doctor Who. Peter has been a fan of the show since childhood, the first episode of which was released back in 1963. At the age of 55, Capaldi played the Twelfth Doctor, becoming the oldest actor to star in the revived series.

Peter Dugan Capaldi hails from the Scottish city of Glasgow. The actor was born in 1958 into the family of Nancy and Gerald, who lived in a residential area and were engaged in a small business. The couple owned a van from which they sold gelato, a cold Italian dessert. Peter's father is from central Italy, and his mother is from the Irish county of Cavan. In total, the couple had three children.

The closest relatives lived on the same street - grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and the boy grew up in an atmosphere of a big friendly family. Relatives encouraged all his creative endeavors. At first, the actor studied at St. Teresa's elementary school, then at St. Ninian's Catholic high school, both were located near Glasgow. From childhood, Peter was eccentric and dreamed of an outstanding life. He thought he would become a rock star, artist or director, but he would never merge with the gray mass.

Capaldi's childhood hobby was the science fiction series Doctor Who, which aired on the BBC and was dedicated to the Time Lord traveling through spaces and eras. The boy enthusiastically followed his adventures and often wrote letters to the TV channel. In 1972, he received a package containing the script for the future episode and a letter from the producer. So the creators of the project have created a real miracle in the life of a young fan.

In 1974, Peter created a fan club for the series in Bishopbriggs, the town where his school was located. True, the club managed to lure only one person, but this couple proudly paced in long scarves, imitating the Doctor. By that time, the guy had already taken a great interest in theater and performed in the amateur group The Antonine Players.

Since 1976, the young man has been studying at the Glasgow School of Art. Here he masters acting and participates in The Dreamboys as a singer and guitarist. Even in his youth, Capaldi dabbled in stand-up venues as a comedian.

After graduating from college, Peter moved to London to study at the school of dramatic arts, but could not enter there.

Capaldi's acting career began in 1982 with the film Living Apart Together, and the actor received his first notable role in the film by Bill Forsyth "Local Hero". For almost a decade, nothing significant has happened in Peter's creative life: the man mostly plays episodic characters in serials, while performing in the theater.

In 1992, the actor stars in the film "In the car on the sidelines" (Soft Top Hard Shoulder), for which he himself wrote a script with autobiographical motives. His wife Elaine also appears in the film.

A year later, Peter will direct the short film It's a Wonderful Life for Franz Kafka, where he will act as a screenwriter and director. The 23-minute story about the torment of the Austrian genius will bring the author a resounding success: first he will earn the recognition of the British Academy, and in 1995 he will receive an Oscar.

At first, the inspired Americans offered Capaldi further cooperation, but soon changed their minds, and a period of apathy and uncertainty began in the artist's life. Nevertheless, he continues to work and in 2001 removes the picture "The Poured Sinatra", but that does not bring either fame or money.

The project "Thick of Events" really revealed the actor's talent. The series about everyday life of British politics lasted 4 seasons, and the character of the swearing man Malcolm Tucker turned out to be perhaps the most memorable and charismatic. For this role in 2010, Peter received the prestigious BAFTA Award for Best Comedic Actor.

In 2013, an event takes place that can hardly be overestimated: the filmography of Peter Capaldi is replenished with the legendary TV series Doctor Who. He is invited to play the role of the Lord of Time in the twelfth incarnation. By this time, the revived project had gained immense popularity and acquired a multi-million army of fans. The Twelfth Doctor's companion was played by Jenna Coleman.

Capaldi starred in 3 seasons of the series, leaving it in 2017 and finally becoming recognizable around the world. As a Doctor, he appears in the fantasy American thriller War of the Worlds Z, which was released in 2013. At the same time, Peter participates in another high-profile Hollywood project, the fantasy "Maleficent", but the scenes with the actor's participation were not included in the final version of the film.

Peter Capaldi is an Aries and, as befits this sign of the zodiac, a person is strong, impulsive and bright. At the same time, he is a monogamous and loyal family man. He has not parted with his wife Elaine Collins since 1986. The actors met at the theater, where they worked on the play "Songs for Stray Cats".

At first, the young people were just friends, but they soon realized that they could not live without each other. For 5 years, the lovers lived in a London apartment with a large dog Coco and were in no hurry to get married. In 1991, the couple registered a relationship, and in 1993, a daughter, Cecil, appeared in the family.

Elaine began her acting career, starring mainly in TV shows. But then she decided to change her profession and went to the ITV TV channel, where she became an executive producer. Now the Capaldi family lives in the London suburb of Muswell Hill.

The actor's hobbies are drawing and painting. He paints almost daily and enjoys practicing storyboards for films. The man is energetic and fit, his height is 183 cm.

The actor does not have official pages on social networks, but fans regularly post news from their personal lives and fresh photos of Peter in their Instagram fan accounts.

After finishing work in Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi is involved mainly in animation projects. In December 2018, the mini-series “Inhabitants of the Hills”, an animated film adaptation of the famous novel by Richard Adams, was released worldwide. In the story about rabbits, the actor voices a skua seagull named Kehaar.

In 2019, The Personal Story of David Copperfield, based on the novel by Charles Dickens, will be released. Director Armando Iannucci invited Peter to play Wilkins Micawber, an incorrigible optimist and loser. Previously, the artist starred in Armando's TV series "Thick of Events".
