ABOUT THE CAST
collaborating with singer Mick Jagger, he has written some of the most indelible songs of the rock era,
including “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Start Me Up,” “Brown Sugar” and “Jumping Jack Flash.” In
addition, Richards has made two solo albums, Talk Is Cheap and Main Offender, with his band, the X-
Pensive (“as in formerly thinking,” he wryly explains) Winos.
Nor is Richards a stranger to the world of film. He produced the music for the concert film “Chuck
Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock ’n’ Roll” (1987), directed by Taylor Hackford, in honor of Berry’s 60th birthday.
“Gimme Shelter,” the Maysles Brothers documentary of the Stones’ tumultuous American tour in 1969, is
widely regarded as one of the best rock and roll films ever made. Martin Scorsese, Jean-Luc Godard and
Hal Ashby are among the other directors the Stones have worked with in the course of their storied career.
DAVID BAILIE (Cotton) has worked in the entertainment industry
for 43 years. He arrived in England from South Africa in 1960 and trained
at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He spent most of the following
10 years working in theatre at the Royal Shakespeare Company at
Stratford-Upon-Avon and at the Royal National Theatre alongside and
understudying Sir Laurence Olivier, where he also portrayed Florizel
opposite Judi Dench’s Perdita in “A Winter’s Tale.”
Since that time, Bailie has continued to work on stage and has also
expanded his repertoire to include television and film. He has performed
on stage in “Murder in the Cathedral,” “Macbeth,” “Waiting for Godot,”
“Two Gentlemen of Verona,” “Faustus,” “The Three Musketeers” and
“The Canterbury Tales,” among other notable plays.
On television, Bailie has appeared in “The Play for Today: Lonely Man’s Lover,” “Play of the Month:
The Little Minister,” “Dr. Who,” “Robots of Death,” “Warships,” “Blake’s Seven,” “Onedin Line” and,
more recently, “The New Adventures of Robin Hood,” “Crime Unlimited,” “Gunpowder Plot” and the
telefilm “Attila.”
Among Bailie’s motion-picture credits are “Henry VIII and His Six Wives,” the Hammer horror
classics “The Creeping Flesh,” “Son of Dracula” and “Legend of the Werewolf,” “Cutthroat Island,” “The
Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc” and “Gladiator.”
DAVID SCHOFIELD (Mercer) has enjoyed success on stage, films
and television. Born in Manchester, England as one of 10 children in a
working-class family, he caught the acting bug at the age of 12. He left a
rough inner-city boy’s school three years later and took various odd jobs
before writing a letter to a local repertory theatre. Finally granted an
audition two years later, in 1967, Schofield was accepted on the lowest
rung of the ladder as student assistant stage manager and was paid all of
10 dollars a week. There, he worked in every department as a propmaker,
soundman, writer, stage sweeper and teamaker, putting in 14-hour days
six days a week.
After two seasons, Schofield applied to acting colleges and was
accepted by the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art at the age
of 19. Following three years at the Academy, Schofield acquired an agent and left school early to pursue
his path as a working actor (30 years later, Schofield maintains the same agent). Schofield’s distinguished
stage career has seen the actor performing some of the great classical roles, including Angelo in “Measure
for Measure” and Mark Antony in “Julius Caesar” for the Royal Shakespeare Company and a long
association with the Royal National Theatre appearing in numerous productions, including “The
American Clock,” “Antony and Cleopatra,” “The Elephant Man” (for which he created the title role),
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” “As You Like It” and “Plenty.” He’s also acted on the West End stage
in both musicals and straight plays.
