Biography

Richard Cant, a talented thespian, first drew breath in the year 1964 within the confines of Dartford, a charming town located in the county of Kent, in the southeastern region of England, which is, in turn, a part of the United Kingdom.

As an accomplished actor, he has made a notable impact in the world of cinema, with a string of impressive performances in a variety of films and productions.

Some of his most notable roles include his portrayal of a character in the 2018 historical drama film "Mary Queen of Scots", opposite Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, as well as his appearance in the 2018 biographical comedy-drama film "Stan & Ollie", which tells the story of the legendary comedy duo Laurel and Hardy.
