Biography

Tobias Wolff was born in the bustling city of London, a hub of cultural and artistic expression. His educational background is steeped in the tradition of British theatre, as he graduated from the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 1998. This marked the beginning of his illustrious acting career, which has spanned over two decades.

Tobias's early work in popular UK television series, such as Foyle's War, Midsomer Murders, and Casualty, showcased his versatility and range as an actor. He also appeared in the controversial drama A Very Social Secretary, which garnered significant attention for its bold and thought-provoking storyline.

However, it is his role as Marcus Junius Brutus in the television series Rome that has cemented his international recognition. This critically acclaimed series has been praised for its historical accuracy and engaging storytelling, and Tobias's performance was a standout in the cast.

In addition to his television work, Tobias has also made a significant impact in the film industry. He had a major role in The Low Down, a drama starring Aidan Gillen, and appeared in the 2006 reboot of the James Bond franchise, Casino Royale. His versatility as an actor was once again demonstrated in his roles in Persuasion and The Relief of Belsen, both of which were produced by ITV and Channel 4 respectively.

Tobias's television credits also include guest starring roles in seasons 3 and 6 of HBO's Game of Thrones, as well as starring roles in Starz's Outlander and Netflix's The Crown. His portrayal of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in The Crown has been widely praised for its accuracy and nuance.

On stage, Tobias has had the opportunity to showcase his talents in a variety of productions. He has played the role of Irwin, a young teacher, in Alan Bennett's The History Boys, and was nominated for the Ian Charleson Award for his performance in Michael Blakemore's West End production of Three Sisters. He has also had the privilege of playing the title role in Rupert Goold's production of Hamlet at the Royal Theatre, a critically acclaimed performance that showcased his range and depth as an actor.
