Biography

Barry Warren was born in London on July 12, 1933. On leaving RADA, he appeared in Shakespearean seasons at Stratford-on-Avon for two years. During the first in 1956, he merely 'carried a spear.' But during the second, he played the Dauphine in KING JOHN and Lucius in JULIUS CAESAR. He made his film debut as Donaldblain in Maurice Evans' screen version of MacBETH. In 1962, he went to Spain to appear in his second film, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Says Warren, "I played three roles---a British officer with a moustache, a British officer without a moustache, and an Arab Sheik!" Warren was married to Shirley Bidmead (sister of actress Stephanie Bidmead) and they had two sons: Christopher and Jonathan.
