Mr. Bradley's life journey began on September 7th, 1954, in Liverpool, England, a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant artistic scene. As a schoolboy, Bradley forged an enduring bond with Clive Barker, a partnership that would prove to be a defining aspect of his life and career.
In the 1970s, Bradley and his close friend Clive Barker co-founded the innovative theatre group "Dog Company", a collective that aimed to push the boundaries of creative expression. During this period, Barker devoted himself to writing, collaborating with his script-writing counterpart Peter Atkins, who would later go on to work on several Hellraiser films. Meanwhile, Bradley embarked on a parallel path, exploring the world of acting.
Through his remarkable portrayal of Pinhead, the enigmatic and feared cenobite, Bradley secured a place in the esteemed Movie Monster Hall Of Fame, solidifying his status as a master of the macabre. His involvement in eight of the Hellraiser films served as a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft, cementing his position as a household name within the realm of horror cinema.
