With a new film on the way, now is a good time to reflect on all things Ian McShane. He trained with Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt at Rada (living with the latter) and both McShane and Hurt’s first film was 1962 British romantic drama The Wild and the Willing.
Other career highlights on the big screen include a role as a bisexual drug dealer opposite Richard Burton in the classic 1971 crime drama Villain, crimelord Teddy Bass in 2000’s Sexy Beast with Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley, Captain Hook in 2007’s Shrek the Third, Blackbeard in 2011’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and has starred with Keanu Reeves in all four John Wick films.
