He also received a Tony Award for his performance in ''Much Ado About Nothing'' in 1984 and a Primetime Emmy Award in 1988 for ''The Tenth Man''. His stage work includes playing Octavius Caesar, Edward II, Richard III〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Derek Jacobi Biography )〕 and Thomas Becket. In addition to being a founder member of the Royal National Theatre and winning several prestigious theatre awards, Jacobi has also enjoyed a successful television career, starring in the critically praised〔 adaptation of Robert Graves's ''I, Claudius'' (1976), for which he won a BAFTA; in the titular role in the medieval drama series ''Cadfael'' (1994-1998), as Stanley Baldwin in ''The Gathering Storm'' (2002) and as Alan Buttershaw in ''Last Tango in Halifax'' (2012-present). Though principally a stage actor, Jacobi has appeared in a number of films, including ''The Day of the Jackal'' (1973), ''Henry V'' (1989), ''Dead Again'' (1991), ''Gladiator'' (2000), ''Gosford Park'' (2001), ''The Riddle'' (2007), ''The King's Speech'' (2010), ''My Week with Marilyn'' (2011), and ''Cinderella'' (2015). He holds a British knighthood and has been appointed a Knight First Class of the Order of the Dannebrog.〔 ==Early life== Jacobi, an only child, was born in Leytonstone, London, England, the son of Daisy Gertrude (née Masters), a secretary who worked in a drapery store in Leyton High Road, and Alfred George Jacobi, who ran a sweet shop and was a tobacconist in Chingford. His great-grandfather on his father's side had emigrated to England from Germany during the 19th century. His family was working class. Jacobi describes his childhood as happy. In his teens he went to the Leyton Sixth Form College and became an integral part of the drama club, The Players of Leyton. While in the sixth-form, he starred in a production of ''Hamlet,'' which was taken to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and very well regarded. At 18 he won a scholarship to the University of Cambridge, where he read history at St John's College and earned his degree. Younger members of the university at the time included Ian McKellen (who had a crush on him – "a passion that was undeclared and unrequited", as McKellen relates it) and Trevor Nunn. During his studies at Cambridge, Jacobi played many parts including ''Hamlet'', which was taken on a tour to Switzerland, where he met Richard Burton. As a result of his performance of ''Edward II'' at Cambridge, Jacobi was invited to become a member of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre immediately upon his graduation in 1960. 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「Derek Jacobi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
