Richard Winsor, a talented British actor, hails from Nottinghamshire but has trained and resides in London. His most recent and notable role is that of Dr. "Cal Knight" in the BBC's prime time medical drama Casualty, which has garnered him widespread critical acclaim and cemented his status as a fan favorite within the show's recent history.
Prior to his work in Casualty, Richard made a name for himself as "Tomas" in the successful British film Streetdance 3D, which debuted at number one in the UK and many other countries. In addition to his work in film, Richard has also established himself as a respected theatre actor, with numerous productions to his credit and widespread critical acclaim.
As a teenager, Richard's interests extended beyond acting and sports, and he pursued a career as a dancer, honing his skills in various dance forms. This led him to cross paths with his mentor, the renowned Sir Matthew Bourne, with whom he developed a working relationship that spanned ten years. During this time, Richard served as Bourne's principal performer and appeared in several notable productions.
One of Richard's most memorable roles was that of "Dorian" in the sold-out Edinburgh and London runs of Matthew Bourne's Dorian Gray. He previously played the role of "Edward" in Bourne's highly successful production of Edward Scissorhands, which played to packed houses in London, LA, New York, Japan, and Moscow.
Richard's impressive performances have earned him numerous accolades, including being voted the "sexiest dancer in the world" by Elle magazine. He has also had the distinction of performing the iconic role of "The Swan" in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake on both the Broadway and London stages, and later reprised the role for the hit feature film Swan Lake 3D, which was a massive art house success and aired on Sky Arts channels in the UK.
