Steven Berkoff is a British actor, author, playwright, director and national treasure. He remains the most prominent proponent of non-naturalistic performance in the English-speaking theatre world, and his own plays, of which East is perhaps the most famous, are on syllabuses – and performed – across the world. His theatrical performances, whether Shakespearean or modern (with his Coriolanus as a particular highlight) are the stuff of legend. He has received litanies of awards and citations, including the Society of London Theatre’s Lifetime Achievement Award. His most famous popular cinematic roles include the Bond villain General Orlov in Octopussy, Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop and Lt. Col. Podovsky in Rambo among a litany of others, while he has appeared in more serious roles for Stanley Kubrick (A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon) and, more recently, in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and the TV series Vikings.

His first ‘traditional’ feature film, a retelling of Alice in Wonderland set the day of the Brexit vote, will complete filming shortly after the global pandemic. His first poetry performance was delivered at age 6 to freedom fighters in Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison, South Africa. He now lives in Baden-Baden, Germany.
