Jonathan Newth (born 6 March 1939) is a British actor[1][2] who has appeared extensively in British television drama for over 50 years.
Early life
Brought up in Hadleigh, Newth worked on a farm (his father being a fruit farmer) for a while after leaving school. He worked as a student assistant stage manager at a theatre in Suffolk before training at the Central School of Speech and Drama. After doing two years national service as a Royal Marines Commando, he made his debut in Ipswich.
Career
Newth's theatre work includes appearances with the RSC, in the West End and on Broadway.[7][8]
Newth's television credits include Emergency Ward 10, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Ace of Wands, The Troubleshooters, Z-Cars, Callan, Van der Valk, The Brothers, Softly, Softly, Poldark, Doctor Who (Underworld), Notorious Woman, Secret Army (Barsacq), The Professionals, The Nightmare Man, The Day of the Triffids, Tenko (Colonel Clifford Jefferson), Triangle, Angels, Juliet Bravo, After Henry, The Return of Sherlock Holmes ("The Bruce-Partington Plans"), Boon, Bugs, The Bill, Agatha Christie's Poirot (Dumb Witness), Peak Practice, Heartbeat and Doctors.[9][1][10]
Personal life
While at the Royal Central School of Drama, Newth met the actress Joanna Brookes. They married on 11 September 1963,[11] later having two children.[12] He later married another actress, Gay Wilde in 1979 and they have lived in Bradford-on-Avon with their four children since 1989.[7]
He suffers from tinnitus and is also partially deaf, becoming aware of this around the late 1980s. He believes it may have been caused by being close to a loud explosion during his national service, which could have had a delayed reaction.[13]
