Sarah Caroline Colman (born 30 January 1974〔England and Wales Birth Index 1916–2005〕), known professionally as Olivia Colman, is an English actress who first came to prominence for her supporting role as Sophie Chapman in the Channel 4 comedy series ''Peep Show'' (2003–15). Her other TV comedy roles include ''Green Wing'' (2004–06), ''Beautiful People'' (2008–09), ''Rev.'' (2010–14) and ''Twenty Twelve'' (2011–12). She also played various roles in ''That Mitchell and Webb Look'' (2006–08), alongside her ''Peep Show'' co-stars David Mitchell and Robert Webb. Colman's move to drama saw her receive critical acclaim for her performance in the 2011 film ''Tyrannosaur''. Her other film roles include Carol Thatcher in ''The Iron Lady'' (2011), Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother in ''Hyde Park on Hudson'' (2012), and ''Locke'' (2013). A three-time BAFTA TV Award winner, she won Best Female Comedy Performance for ''Twenty Twelve'' and Best Supporting Actress for ''Accused'' in 2013, before winning Best Actress in 2014 for her role as DS Ellie Miller in the ITV crime series ''Broadchurch''. ==Early life== Colman was born in Norwich, Norfolk, to a nurse mother and a chartered surveyor father. She was educated at two independent schools, Norwich High School for Girls in Norwich and Gresham's School in Holt. Her first role was Jean Brodie in a school performance of ''The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie'' at the age of 16. She then realised that was what she wanted to do.〔http://www.bigissue.com/features/letter-my-younger-self/2228/olivia-colman-i-immediately-knew-i-would-marry-him〕 In her BAFTA acceptance speech in 2013, Colman thanks her drama teacher at Gresham's, Paul Hands. She says that if it was not for him she might still be wondering what to do when she grew up.〔http://old.greshams.com/resource.aspx?id=50536〕 Of Colman, Hands says: "I think she's one of the great British actors of her generation... she was very popular and kind. That not only made her a better person, but a better actor. I remember occasions when her performances were so powerful the audience would leave in tears. She was that good, which was extraordinary at that age."〔http://www.virginmedia.com/newsfeeds//11587/2013/05/14/olivia-colman-wants-to-break/〕 Colman went on to spend a term studying primary teaching at Homerton College, Cambridge. During this time, at the age of 20, she auditioned for the Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club (Footlights) and first met future co-stars David Mitchell and Robert Webb, as well as Peter Serafinowicz. "I'd never heard of Footlights," she said in 2013, "I think Rob and David probably thought I was quite game because they said, 'Find something in here and try and sell it to us', and I picked up a cigarette butt and was trying to sell it to them as nutritious and then ate it. Instead of laughing they just looked slightly shocked." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olivia Colman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
