In Person: Richard E. Grant

Since rising to fame with his now-iconic role in Withnail & I (screening as part of The Future is History, p47), Richard E. Grant has appeared in many critically acclaimed films ranging from independent projects to Hollywood blockbusters, including The Age of Innocence, Gosford Park, L.A. Story, The Player, Bram Stoker’s Dracula and, most recently, Jackie. Richard first attended EIFF as a then-unknown actor for the premiere of Withnail & I in 1987, before returning for the EIFF Opening Gala of his directorial debut Wah Wah in 2005. We are honoured to welcome Grant - actor, screenwriter, director (and perfumier!) - back to Edinburgh in our 70th anniversary, to discuss his long and fascinating career.
