Nicholas Read is one of the most beloved actors from Stoke! Despite being only 4' 5" in height, he is a big talent in the world of entertainment!
Nicholas burst onto the acting world when he appeared in the 1983 blockbuster 'Return of the Jedi' playing an Ewok. He followed that up by appearing alongside David Bowie in the smash hit film 'Labyrinth' in 1986.
Next up was the classic film 'Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller', a film I personally own on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and digital download.
In 2001 Nicholas showed his acting chops in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', a bleak melodrama about a secret that threatens to destroy a working class family, directed by Mike Leigh.
Nicholas may or may not have appeared in Peter Kay's video of 'Amarillo', for Comic Relief 2005. Not sure about that one.

In 2004, Nicholas was convicted for indecent assault when he climbed into bed drunk with a stage manager and assulted the man's girlfriend.
In 2011, Nicholas was on a train, travelling home to Cheadle from London after judging a croquet competition. Having consumed half a bottle of gin, he found himself sharing a cabin with a 17-year-old girl.
"He placed his hat on his crotch," said the girl in court during last June's trial. "I saw a movement and I was a bit shocked. I didn't know whether to believe it. I looked in the reflection of the window and saw his hand moving under the hat, vigorously up and down. His hat tilted towards me, lifted, so I could see, but blocking the aisle. He tried to catch my attention tilting his hat up, looking at his crotch area and then looking at me a few times." This behaviour allegedly continued for between 30 to 40 minutes.
Fortunately, Nicholas was convicted but spared jail and is now available for work! Book him now!
