He lost out on a part in Shakespeare in Love (1998) because he had previously confronted producer Harvey Weinstein over his behaviour on Strike It Rich (1990).

His mother passed away on the Millenium's New Year's Eve. She had a heart attack during a phone call so he immediately drove up to see her; she held on until he arrived, smiled at him and died. On the car journey he had many previously inaccessible memories of his childhood. As a result he is writing his autobiography, which he says will be a catharsis for the experience of losing his mother.

He is regarded as one of the UK's most accomplished actors. As well as capable of singing, dancing and affable clowning, Lindsay is a heavyweight Shakespearean, having performed, among many others, Hamlet and Richard III on stage, Lysander in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1981) and Edmund in the Laurence Olivier King Lear (1983), both of these last two on TV.

He won Broadway's 1987 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical) for "Me and My Girl.".

At the beginning of every Derby County match at home, the song 'Steve Bloomers Watchin' (named after the player) is played over the stadium, sung by Lindsay.

He mentioned in an interview that his mother was psychic and taught him how to assess the energy of a building as positive or negative; he believes he has had premonitions.

He had a 15-year relationship with Diana Weston, which finished in 1994. He had one daughter, Sydney Stevenson from this relationship.

He is president of his birth town football club, Ilkeston Town, who play their home games at The New Manor Ground, Ilkeston.

Lindsay was ushered to Hollywood via the Tony Award-winning success of "Me and My Girl". The movie Bert Rigby, You're a Fool (1989) was specifically designed to showcase his delightful song-and-dance talents and show-off his charm and magnetism that scored so well with audiences, but the story was rather soporific and the film, after receiving mediocre reviews, took a nosedive at the box office.

He was awarded the Laurence Olivier Theatre Award in 1986 (1985 season) for Best Actor in a Musical for "Me and My Girl".

He starred with first wife Cheryl Hall in one of his popular 70s series Citizen Smith (1977). They divorced after six years.

He graduated from RADA and became an Associate Member of RADA.

He was awarded the 1997 Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actor in a Musical of the 1996 season for his performance in Oliver! at the London Palladium.

He is an avid Derby County fan.

He is the father of Sydney Stevenson.

He lives with Rosemarie Ford in Buckinghamshire; the couple have two sons, Samuel, born 18 November 1999 and James Lindsay Stevenson, born 8 April 2003. They married in a civil ceremony on New Year's Eve 2006.

October-November 2019 is starring in a touring stage play in the UK called 'Prism' about the life of legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff.

When Lindsay played Wolfie in Citizen Smith (1977), his favourite War Cry was "Power to the people!".

His first marriage was to actress Cheryl Hall who he left in 1980 for Diana Weston then left her in 1985 for Rosemary Ford.

His parents are Norman and Joyce Stevenson.

He started acting in a school play, The Pied Piper, at 13 and intended to be a teacher but a friend lent him £5 to go to London for a RADA audition.
