Simon MacCorkindale
Simon Charles Pendered MacCorkindale〔 (12 February 195214 October 2010) was a British actor, film director, writer and producer. MacCorkindale spent much of his childhood moving around due to his father's commission with the Royal Air Force. Poor eyesight prevented him following a similar career in the RAF, so he instead planned to become a theatre director. Training at the Theatre of Arts in London, MacCorkindale started work as an actor, making his West End debut in 1974. He went on to appear in numerous roles in television, including the series ''I, Claudius'' and ''Jesus of Nazareth'', before starring as Simon Doyle in the film ''Death on the Nile'' (1978). This proved to be a breakthrough role and allowed MacCorkindale to move to the United States, where he appeared in a variety of films and TV series including ''Quatermass'' (1979), ''The Riddle of the Sands'' (1979), ''The Sword and the Sorcerer'' (1982) and ''Jaws 3-D'' (1983).
In 1983, MacCorkindale starred in the short-lived series ''Manimal'' as the lead character, Dr Jonathan Chase, before taking up the longer-running role of lawyer Greg Reardon in ''Falcon Crest''. Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s he directed and produced many stage, TV and film productions through his company Amy International Artists, such as the film ''Stealing Heaven'' (1988). Moving to Canada, MacCorkindale starred as Peter Sinclair in the series ''Counterstrike'' for three years. He returned to the UK in 2002 and joined the cast of the BBC medical drama ''Casualty'', appearing in the role of Harry Harper for six years until 2008. He married actress Susan George in 1984 and died of colorectal cancer in 2010.
==Early life==
MacCorkindale was born on 12 February 1952 in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England,〔〔 to Scottish parents Gilliver Mary (née Pendered) and Peter Bernard MacCorkindale OBE,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Simon MacCorkindale Biography (1952–) )〕〔〔 who died in September 2007. He had a brother, Duncan,〔 while his father was an RAF Group Captain station commander. MacCorkindale spent some of his childhood in Edinburgh, where his father was stationed for a period,〔 although Peter MacCorkindale's changing postings necessitated 17 moves to places across Europe.〔 As a result, he became an "independent" child.〔 MacCorkindale attended Haileybury and Imperial Service College in Hertfordshire from 1965 to 1970, where he was Head Boy and a member of the Air Training Corps. Originally intending to enlist in the RAF, he abandoned this plan at the age of 13 when his eyesight began to deteriorate. MacCorkindale considered joining the diplomatic corps to become an ambassador, but instead opted to become a stage director after developing an interest in theatre.〔
MacCorkindale had been a fan of theatre since writing a play at the age of eight, joking that it was "unproduceable" because "it required an enormous cast and a considerable amount of rum drinking."〔 Making his acting debut at the same age, he went on to appear on stage and work behind the scenes of numerous school and theatre group productions throughout his childhood. Persuading his parents that he would find a "sensible job" if a career as a director was not sustaining him financially by the age of 25, MacCorkindale decided not to study at university and instead attended the Studio 68 drama school at the Theatre of Arts in London.〔〔 In his time at drama school, he took acting classes so that he "could better understand actors and, hopefully, be a more competent director." MacCorkindale opted to continue acting after graduating from the Theatre of Arts; he decided to amass more experience in the role to have better confidence as a director.〔
