Richard Armitage Biography

Richard Armitage is one of the most popular and richest Movie Actor who was born on August 22, 1971 in Huncote, England, United Kingdom. Thorin Oakenshield, an English actor, was first introduced to international audiences in 2012’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Before this role, he was best known for his portrayal of John Thorton in North & South.

He was a supporting actor in Captain America: The First Avenger, a 2011 action movie.

After completing the programme at Pattison College in 1988, Armitage joined the Nachtcircus in Budapest for six months to obtain his Equity Card, a requirement at the time for entertainment professionals to work in the UK. Returning to the UK, he pursued a career in musical theatre – working as an assistant choreographer to Kenn Oldfield and performing in various productions, including the ensembles of 42nd Street, My One and Only, Nine, Annie Get Your Gun and as Admetus and Macavity in Cats. Armitage was also pursuing acting in dramatic theatre productions, including The Real Thing, Six Degrees of Separation and Death of a Salesman.

By 1992, he began to doubt if musical theatre was the right career path, so he enrolled at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) in 1993 to further study acting. “I needed to do something a bit more truthful than musical theatre. For me it was a bit too theatrical and all about standing on stage and showing off. I was looking for something else, so that’s why I went back to drama school.”

Chris is his older brother. His mother Margaret was a secretary, and his father John an engineer.
