About Bertie Carvel
You'll find the words Award and Winner crop up a lot in a Bertie Carvel CV. Yes, he drove you mad as the lying, treacherous husband in the BBC's award-winning (see?) Dr Foster and he scared children something rotten as hateful headmistress Miss Trunchbull in multi award winning (again, sorry) Matilda the Musical. As Rupert Murdoch in the huge hit INK, he didn’t so much move as uncoil. He was Nick Clegg and Dr Jonathan Strange and is one of our most self-disguising of actors. More recently, his roles in Channel 4's Baghdad Central & ITV's The Sister (so creepy!) do not disappoint. As well as starring as the protagonist in P.D. James’ Inspector Dalgliesh Mysteries tales, he followed this with his acclaimed performance as Donald Trump in The 47th at The Old Vic Theatre, there are no known limits to Bertie.

Bertie Carvel has stunned critics with his portrayal of Rupert Murdoch in The Almeida production of INK, written by James Graham and directed by Rupert Goold. Described as a First-rate drama about Rupert Murdoch's transition into the British tabloids and the birth of 'The Sun'. "Bertie Carvel plays Murdoch not as some horned monster but as a man driven by the ruthless logic of the market, and as someone who prizes business success over the consolations of friendship". Ink will run until August 5th.
