This article profiles theatrical actor Roger Rees. Rees, who received both a New York Tony Award and a West End Theatre Award from London, England for best actor as Nicholas Nickleby, began his professional work in the theatre as a scene painter. Even if, as he says, he did not set out to make theatre his profession, there is an apparent pattern to his life. The conditions of his early life led to visual arts. His visual arts ability and training have profoundly affected his way of developing a role, and some of those roles have profoundly influenced his life. He makes no comparison between the on-the-job training he received in repertory theatres and the training others get in drama schools. Neither does he think there are any guidelines for developing one's acting ability in rehearsal and performance. There is an attitude he has toward his work that is most important in understanding him as an actor. It grows out of his early shyness, which still seems to be present though no longer socially incapacitating. The shyness is also evident in one way or another in every role he plays. Until now, he says, he has not really made plans. He just played every part that came along if he could do it. Some of them, he realizes, he should not have done. But he feels he has now gotten to the point where he should exercise some control over what he does.
