Richie Lawrie

Born in Camberwell, South London Richie Lawrie had a very poor, under privileged upbringing. He was often ridiculed right up to his leaving school age about even the most simple things also like the lack of an adequate sports kit and school uniform due to the lack of money available for the family to spend. Later in life he started out as a stage and theatre actor. He is also a trained singer and progressed in to singing in theatre plays as well and has played the lead vocal in plays and most recently in an extended adaptation of The Lion King where he played Scar as one of the lead roles and the lead vocalist. He is also an ex amateur boxer and semi professional footballer. He also played in the F.A cup too. He is known for his easily identifiable ''Cockney'' London accent and his voice is also very unique which always adds value with certain roles. Actors have often said he has a very powerful voice that commands respect! Richie always prefers to be positive in life on and off screen
