Jonathan Aris
- Actor
Jonathan Aris is the son of the late British character actor
Ben Aris but, despite having a thespian
as a father, acting was not his first choice. He studied painting at
Camberwell School of Art and read Russian and Italian at Cambridge
University before training as an actor at the Webber Douglas Academy of
Dramatic Art in London. Like his father, Jonathan has chiefly been seen
in character roles, notably on television as the private secretary to
the (female) Prime Minister in
The Amazing Mrs Pritchard (2006).
He also does a great number of voice-overs for television commercials
and narration for documentaries. He has made numerous stage appearances
and was in the original London cast of "Fame - the Musical".
