Michael Christopher Sheen OBE (born 5 February 1969) is a Welsh actor and political activist. After training at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), he worked mainly in theatre throughout the 1990s and made notable stage appearances in Romeo and Juliet (1992), Don’t Fool With Love (1993), Peer Gynt (1994), The Seagull (1995), The Homecoming (1997), and Henry V (1997). His performances in Amadeus at the Old Vic and Look Back in Anger at the National Theatre were nominated for Olivier Awards in 1998 and 1999, respectively. In 2003, he was nominated for a third Olivier Award for his performance in Caligula at the Donmar Warehouse.
Sheen was in a relationship with English actress Kate Beckinsale from 1995 until 2003. They met when cast in a touring production of The Seagull in early 1995, and began living together shortly afterwards. Their daughter, Lily Mo Beckinsale-Sheen, was born in 1999 in London, England. The actress has said she was “embarrassed” that Sheen never proposed, but felt as if she were married. Their relationship ended in January 2003, soon after the couple moved to Los Angeles from London. Beckinsale had persuaded director Len Wiseman to cast Sheen in Underworld; but while on set, she and Wiseman fell in love, and subsequently married in 2004.
From 1998 to 1999, Sheen starred as Mozart in a successful revival of Amadeus. The Peter Hall-directed production was staged at the Old Vic, London and later transferred to the Music Box on Broadway. Ben Brantley, chief theatre critic for The New York Times, was particularly vocal in his praise. He noted that “Mr. Sheen elicits a real poetry from the role” and felt that, while watching him, “you start to appreciate the derivation of the term star. This actor is so luminous it’s scary!” The Independent found him “quite stunning as Mozart. His fantastically physical performance convinces you of his character’s genius and the play catches fire whenever he’s on stage.” Sheen was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Supporting Performance and an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actor. In 1999, Sheen explored the role of Jimmy Porter in the National Theatre’s production of Look Back in Anger. In 2003, Sheen described the production as “the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever done … everything came together”. The Daily Mail declared him a “definitive Jimmy Porter… simply exhilarating in his great jazz riffs of speeches, mercurial and irresistible.” “Sheen has cornered the market in explosive energy”, said The Independent, “but this thrilling performance is his finest yet.” The Financial Times noted: “As Jimmy Porter, a role of staggering difficulty in every way, Michael Sheen gives surely the best performance London has yet seen from him … You hang on every word he utters … This is a dazzlingly through-the-body performance.” He was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor and an Evening Standard Award for Best Actor.
