Ronan Vibert
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronan Vibert is a Welsh actor, best known for his appearances on British television.
He was born in Cardiff, and attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art from 1983 to 1986. He made his screen debut in 1986.
His parents are the artists David Vibert and Dilys Jackson. Has a brother named Cevn.
He appeared in the BBC's Birds of a Feather, and the ITV's Cadfael, alongside Sir Derek Jacobi, and Van der Valk. He also appeared with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie in several episodes of the televised modification of P. G. Wodehouse's hilarious satire of 1930s aristocratic England, Jeeves and Wooster.
Ronan Vibert really came into his own as an actor as the splendidly evil Maximilien Robespierre in the BBC's adaptation of The Scarlet Pimpernel, starring Richard E. Grant. Vibert's camp and paradoxical portrait of an intense and calm Robespierre as malevolent and without emotion, only added to the reputation of this legendary villain as a truly frightening individual.
Ronan Vibert currently plays the role of Lepidus in HBO's Rome.
