Bryan Dick (born 1978 in Denton Holme, Carlisle, England) [ [http://www.cumberland-news.co.uk/news/viewarticle.aspx?c=48&id=52404&imageindex=2 Cumberland News] ] is an English actor, who has starred in multiple motion pictures, television series, and stage productions in both the United Kingdom and United States.

Dick trained as a dancer at Elmhurst Ballet School in Surrey, moving on to Cumbria Institute of the Arts and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), although he had already worked professionally as a child actor. His first major role was in the ITV miniseries "The Life and Times of Henry Pratt" in 1992.

Since LAMDA, he has worked chiefly in television, including as the younger version of Phil Davis's character, Archie, in the TV series based on the novel "White Teeth", a starring role in the series, "Blackpool" in 2004, playing sidekick to David Tennant's police detective and one of the leads in the Simon Curtis series "Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky", based on the trilogy by Patrick Hamilton, in which he played the idealistic Bob who falls in love with a prostitute.

More recent TV roles include Thomas Wyatt in the 2005 "The Virgin Queen", which starred Anne-Marie Duff as Elizabeth I, and Prince Turveydrop in the award-wining BBC version of Charles Dickens's "Bleak House". He returned to Dickens in 2007 as Freddie Trent in "The Old Curiosity Shop" and in the same year was cast as Danny in the new ITV comedy drama, "Sold".

In 2008 he appeared as the character Adam in an episode of the same name in the BBC sci-fi series "Torchwood".

He has also had several roles on the big screen, including the role of Joseph Nagle opposite Russell Crowe in Peter Weir's "" (2003) and the werewolf Rafe in Katja von Garnier's film "Blood and Chocolate" (2007). Other films include "Brothers of the Head" (2005) and "Colour Me Kubrick" (2006).

On stage, he has appeared in "Plasticine" and "Sliding With Suzanne" at the Royal Court, in Edward Bond's "Lear" at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield and "School Play" at the Soho Theatre. In 2006, he appeared in two plays at the National Theatre in London, as Andrea Sarti in Bertolt Brecht's "The Life of Galileo" and as Dapper in "The Alchemist". In 2007, he played the lead role of Mozart in Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus", [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/content/articles/2007/11/14/amadeus_review.shtml Interview with Bryan Dick on BBC website about his role in Amadeus] ] [ [http://www.thestar.co.uk/entertainment/Brian-turns-up-the-Heat.3437128.jp?articlepage=2 Interview with Bryan Dick on his role in Amadeus] ] again at the Crucible Theatre, with Gerard Murphy as Salieri.
