Barnaby Kay was born into a theatrical family. His younger brother Adam
is in the business, his grandfather, Arthur Kay, who died in 1970, was
a leading light in community theatre in Northumbria, and his father was
the actor Richard Kay, who was killed in a road accident in 1985 before
he was able to see Barnaby follow in the family tradition. Barnaby went
to drama school but left before completing his course as his father's
agent - following the funeral - secured him an audition with the Royal
Shakespeare Company, which he successfully passed, debuting with them
in the play 'A Jovial Crew', and returning to work with them on several
occasions. He has since worked in all media, including television roles
in 'Holby City', 'Midsomer Murders' and 'New Tricks'.
