Matyelok Gibbs

Soon after she left drama school, Matyelok Gibbs ran the acclaimed children’s Theatre, the Unicorn, for many years. As an actress she is an invaluable character who invests huge input into even the smallest roles. Her name comes from her Russian maternal ancestry (her mother escaped Russia during the Revolution), and she says that because of her name she’s often cast as a foreigner.

Her television career was kick-started by the memorable serialization of Paul Scott’s JEWEL IN THE CROWN and she has been memorable since in countless productions including BLOTT ON THE LANDSCAPE, A PERFECT SPY, BETWEEN THE LINES, MAIGRET, PEAK PRACTICE, KAYANAGH QC, MIDSOMER MURDERS, JUDGE JOHN DEED and THE BILL.

Her films include VICTOR/VICTORIA, A ROOM WITH A VIEW, TO KILL A PRIEST, OSCAR AND LUCINDA, EVER AFTER and PU-239.
