BIOGRAPHY OF STEVE COOGAN

Actor, comedian and television producer, Steve Coogan, born Stephen John Coogan, was born on October 14, 1965 in Middleton, England. With an innate talent for imitation, Steve graduated from Manchester Polytechnic School of Theater and began his career as a comedian by taking part in the TV series. Spitting Image (1984), satirical spectacle whose protagonists are outrageous latex puppets who make fun of political issues.

An exceptional transformer, Coogan makes himself known to the general public through his numerous extras on the British talk show Saturday Zoo and, thanks to his hilarious imitations and the comic characters he wears – first of all the politically incorrect Alan Partridge -, he quickly becomes one of the most well-known faces of the BBC. The debut on the big screen comes in 1995 with the fantasy film The magic key, directed by Frank Oz. In 1996 he was in the cast of the drama film directed by Terry Jones The wind in the willows, while the following year he gets the part in the comedy of Malcolm Mowbray Love and revenge.

After a few years of hiatus in which he devoted himself mainly to the small screen, Coogan made his return to the cinema in 2002 with the starring role in the film 24 Hour Party People, comedy-drama in which the actor plays Tony, the founder of the independent record label Factory Records, producer of some of the most popular bands of those years. In 2005, yet another important role arrives. In fact, Steve takes on the role of an eccentric English inventor intent on circumnavigating the globe, in the comic reinterpretation of the book by Jules Verne Around the world in 80 days signed by Frank Coraci. Two years later, however, in 2006, he starred alongside Kirsten Dunst in the film by Sofia Coppola Marie Antoinette, playing the Count Mercy d’Argenteau.

In 2010 he is Hades, the feared god of the underworld, in the first chapter of the fantasy saga Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, while a few months later we find him in the cast of the action comedy The backup cops directed by Adam McKay. After 2012, in which he is in the cast of the sentimental comedy Ruby Sparks and in that of the drama film What Maisie knew, comes the most acclaimed work of the English actor: Philomena (2013), directed by Stephen Frears and based on Martin Sixsmith’s novel “The Lost Child of Philomena Lee”. The drama, which he wrote and co-starred with Judi Dench, earned him two Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Non-Original Screenplay and, in the same year, he also won the BAFTA for Best Screenplay.
