Ray Winstone is delighted to be a patron of NEA 11th November 2010
In 2000 Winstone starred alongside Jude Law in the hit cult movie called 'Love, Honour and Obey,' then took the lead role in 'Sexy Beast,' that brought him great acclaim from UK and international audiences, and brought him to the attention of the American film industry.
Winstone plays "Gal" Dove, a retired and happily married former thief dragged back into London's underworld by a psychopathic former associate (Ben Kingsly received an Oscar nomination for his performance).
After a brief role alongside Burke again in the tragi-comic 'The Martins,' he appeared in 'Last Orders,' where he starred alongside Michael Caine, Helen Mirren, David Hemmings and Tom Courtney. Next Winstone got a prime part in 'Riply’s Game,' the sequel to 'The Talented Mr Riply,' in which he once again played a ganster. He followed up with 'Lenny Blue,' the sequel to 'Tough Love,' and the short movie 'The Bouncer.'
His latest film is with Derren Nesbitt in the Hot Potato, released 2011.
He is delighted to be a patron of NEA (New Era Academy of Drama).
