Name: Sean Biggerstaff (no middle name) Age:25 Gender: male Cannon or Original:Cannon
Hair Color:brown Eye Color:brown Face Claim: Sean Biggerstaff Height: 5' 9" (1.75 m) Weight: approximately 135 Over-all Appearance: Standing at 5’9” and weighing in at around 135 lbs., Sean Biggerstaff is your classic boy next door with brown hair and deep brown eyes it’s easy to see how he has accumulated a fan base. He takes excellent care of himself and is an avid cyclist so he is in excellent physical condition. He has a tendency to let his hair grow out longer that it probably needs to, but he is too lazy to actually go to the barber’s to get it cut, for this same reason he often lets a bit of scruff develop on his face as well.
Likes: biking, his guitar, acting, Canada, Resse’s peanut butter melts, reading Dislikes: soccer, pretending to fly on a broomstick, being away from home, rabid fan girls, strange stares from people Fears: fire, death, small spaces, death of a friend/loved one Habits: Drumming his fingers on tabletops Extreme bouts of randomness Chews on pencils/pens when thinking
Over-all Personality: Sean is fairly easy to get along with most of the time, his personality can be described as somewhat outgoing when he’s in the mood for conversation, but he can also be antisocial. He prefers to be around a select group of people that he knows well than new acquaintances, but of course in this profession that hardly ever happens. Being random is not just an attitude that frequently hits the 25 year old, it’s a way of life and it doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon.
Family: Dad(Derek),Sister(Jenny),Mom(I cannot find the name at the moment) Job:Actor History: (This is Sean’s biography as written on his official page, credit for writing this goes to Sean Biggerstaff)
Born on the ides of March under a full moon in 1983 to a fireman and a community education worker, I initially suspected that I was the reincarnation of Julius Caesar. I soon realised that this couldn’t be so as the idea of conquering Europe, or even living there, didn’t appeal to me in the slightest. With the exception of a passing infatuation with the music of Michael Jackson, the 7 years immediately following my birth were fairly uneventful. The I decided I wanted to act. So I did.
I joined the local drama group in Maryhill which I attended for about 5 years. I got my first professional role as the son of MacDuff in Macbeth, directed by Michael Boyd at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow when I was 10. I then joined Scotish Youth Theatre and spent 6 years performing with them. I’m not ashamed. The shows were of a commendable standard and there really was very little nudity. It was at SYT that I was chosen for The Winter Guest. Alan Rickman (known to most of the kids as “the bad guy from Die Hard”) popped along one day looking for two boys to accompany him to the coldest place on earth, Fife, for two months to make a film. Myself and the suspicious character that is Douglas Murphy were the lucky ones.
In 1999 I asked Alan if he knew anyone in London who may be interested in representing me and he put me in touch with Paul Lyon-Maris, his own agent at ICM. We meet at his flat in Edinburgh and I apparently met his standards. About a week later I successfully auditioned for Harry Potter.
