Alan Cumming (www.alancumming.com), trained at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. After leaving the Academy he quickly found himself celebrated in his homeland for both his television work (including the Scottish soap Take The High Road) and his stand-up comedy (the legendary Victor and Barry, which he wrote and performed with drama school pal Forbes Masson.) But it was the theatre that gave him his biggest break when he appeared in Manfred Karge’s Conquest of the South Pole at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. The play transferred to the Royal Court in London’s West End and Alan was nominated for the Most Promising Newcomer Olivier Award.

Recently he appeared alongside Cher and Christina Aguilera in the movie "Burlesque," and with Helen Mirren, Chris Cooper, Russell Brand, Alfred Molina and Djimon Hounsou in Julie Taymor’s film adaptation of Shakespeare’s "The Tempest." In 2011 he will be heard in three animated films: "Sir Billi The Vet" opposite Sean Connery, "Jackboots On Whitehall" (in which he plays Hitler and Braveheart) and as Gutsy Smurf in "The Smurfs."

He recently launched an obsession-based website: http://www.itsasickness.com
