- For a dozen years, Scottish-born Stuart Sinclair Blyth amazed Britsh and Irish audiences in a vast variety of roles, mostly "baddies", on stage ("The Woman of our Dreams" by Mario Vargas Llosa), TV (i. e. two guest stints on Taggart (1983)) and in a couple of brilliant feature films like The Debt Collector (1999) with Billy Connolly, 16 Years of Alcohol (2003) with Kevin McKidd and Accelerator (2000), an Irish action drama that earned him a Best Actor Award in Cherbourg, France.
His most famous parts, though, were the lead on the short-lived drama series Tinsel Town (2000) where he played the rough drug dealer Paul Coutts, and the role of a sensitive environmental activist in a precious but little-seen movie by Phil Davis called Hold Back the Night (1999) (with veteran actress Sheila Hancock playing a dying lesbian and Christine Tremarco playing a feisty abuse/incest survivor).
Things were looking bright for Stuart. In 2012, however, he disappeared from the public eye to lead a more quiet life in Scotland.- IMDb mini biography by: Stu Fan
