Howard Coggins: ActorWhat actor Howard Coggins loves about acting, he says, is standing up in front of an approving audience who laugh at all the right places and dote over him at the end of the show. In terms of a career, he gets excited about working in productions that are both entertaining and have artistic merit. He has done his fair share of theatre, television, film and radio, and has been a returning actor at the Bristol Old Vic. Acting in Beasts and Beauties was a unique opportunity for Howard: he says that he has never had a job before where he got to play such a wide range of characters. From his prominent role as a troll hag in ‘The Girl and the North Wind’, to the supporting part of the minister in ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, he got to be funny and less funny all in the same show! |
