Geoffrey Austin Newland is a British film and television actor whose recent work includes Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later and HBO’s The Franchise. His credits span feature film, prestige television, BBC drama, ITV drama, international productions and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Raised in the Scottish Borders in the unusual atmosphere of a family hotel, Geoffrey came to acting after studying law, qualifying as a barrister and spending two years travelling. He trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York. His work is marked by stillness, intelligence and emotional detail, a screen presence shaped as much by observation and lived experience as by classical training.
His credits include Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, HBO’s The Franchise (Sam Mendes), Kursk (Thomas Vinterberg), Outlander, Emmy nom'd A Kind of Spark, Spooks, Da Vinci’s Demons, Coronation Street and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
