At the age of 27, Richard Wilson applied to RADA and was accepted, to his utter belief. He has since had a long and successful acting career and is best known for his starring role as Victor Meldrew in the BBC's award-winning situation comedy One Foot in the Grave. He has acted on the silver screen as well as directing and performing in a number of West End productions, and most recently appeared in the BBC's fantasy drama Merlin.
