Actor Eddie Marsan said he wants to share his honour for services to drama with “my wife, my family and the people I grew up with in Bethnal Green” after becoming an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
The 56-year-old, recognised in the New Year Honours, is known for roles including Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch in the biopic Back To Black (2024), villain Kenneth ‘Red’ Parker Jr in Hancock (2008), and magician Gilbert Norrell in BBC fantasy series Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
