About
Geoffrey Beevers (born 15 January 1941, in Chichester, Sussex, England) is a British actor, writer, and director with a career spanning over five decades across stage, television, and film. The only son of D. Beevers, he was educated at Tonbridge School and Wadham College, Oxford, where he read History and took a B.A. in 1962, before training at LAMDA. He made his London stage debut in 1964 with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Peter Brook's production of The Screens, and went on to perform at the National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, and the West End.

He was married to actress Caroline John, who played Liz Shaw in Doctor Who,...
