Derek Jacobi – 82, Leytonstone

Don’t ask us how, but British actor Derek Jacobi has managed to become a theater legend while also appearing in over 150 film projects. Jacobi, a renowned stage actor/director, is a bona fide William Shakespeare scholar, having starred in nearly all of the iconic writer’s finest plays, from Romeo and Juliet to the lesser-known Much Ado About Nothing. We most recently saw him in an Inside No. 9 episode and the documentary series The Lost Pirate Kingdom, both of which were released in 2021. He’s presently filming four new films, including the lockdown drama A Bird Flew In.
