Bruce Payne
Bruce Martyn Payne (born 1958)〔 is an English actor and producer. He was a member of the 1980s Brit Pack. Although he is best known for his villainous roles, Payne has played characters across the spectrum. His notable villainous roles include Charles Rane in ''Passenger 57'', Jacob Kell in ''Highlander: Endgame'', and Damodar in ''Dungeons & Dragons'' and ''Dungeons & Dragons 2: Wrath of the Dragon God''. Payne notes of his acting approach, "()f I'm allowed to in terms of time, I really like to get into the character."〔"Pleasure and Payne" in ''Impact magazine'', April 2001〕
==Early life==
Payne was born in Woking, Surrey, and grew up in New Haw, Surrey. He developed an interest for acting at an early age. In an interview with Impact magazine in 2001, Payne revealed that "I know that my immediate family tell me that when I was very young I saw a play that my brother was in – probably a ''Peter Pan'' pantomime because it involved a crocodile – and I apparently shouted out 'That crocodile is going to eat my brother' and ran up on the stage. I don't remember that myself, but if it really happened, I think it shows that from an early age I loved that suspension of disbelief".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pleasure and Payne – Impact 2001 )〕 At the age of 14 he was diagnosed with a slight form of Spina Bifida which by age 16 required surgery to rectify. Payne was hospitalised for 6 months following the operation.
Payne continued school studies, despite a contact with a talent scout during that time. After his graduation, he enrolled in the National Youth Theatre for two seasons. Payne has described this experience as "Four hundred kids thrown together to work on 7 plays." In addition, Payne was occupied with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for one season. He then auditioned for several fringe acting companies but was told he was too young and lacked experience. However, in 1979 he was admitted to the "prestigious" Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) acting program. Before being accepted at RADA, Payne worked as a joiner, a salesman and a landscape gardener. Payne graduated from RADA in 1981 with seven major prizes for acting, comedy (Payne won the Fabia Drake Prize for Comedy) and physical presence. Payne was part of a 'new wave' of actors to emerge from the Academy. Others included Jonathan Pryce, Juliet Stevenson, Alan Rickman, Anton Lesser, Kenneth Branagh and Fiona Shaw. Whilst at RADA, Payne wrote and directed himself in an adaptation of William Shakespeare's ''Macbeth'' in which he wielded a baseball bat on stage instead of a sword. This was chosen by the Principal of RADA to be performed in front of Queen Elizabeth II, in one of her rare visits to the academy. Payne would later appear on stage in both ''Julius Caesar'' and ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. Payne also played Karsten Bernick in the Henrik Ibsen play ''The Pillars of Society'' while at RADA, a production in which Paul McGann also appeared.
