Andy Nyman

Andy Nyman is an Olivier award-winning English actor, writer and director, and is perhaps best known for co-creating the long-running stage hit Ghost Stories, which he both starred in and co-wrote/co-directed (with Jeremy Dyson). The original production of the play ran for five years and over a thousand performances in England, and went on to be staged in Australia, Canada, Russia and China, as well as being revived successfully in London in 2019. In 2017 he and Dyson wrote
and directed the film adaptation of Ghost Stories, in which he also starred.
He has also enjoyed a long-running partnership with the illusionist Derren Brown, collaborating on several television productions together, as well as four West End theatrical hits. As an actor, his film and television credits include The Woman in Black (1989), Severance (2006), Dead Set (2008), Crooked House (2008), Black Death (2010), Kick Ass 2 (2013), The Last Jedi (2017) and next year in Disney’s ‘Jungle Cruise’. On the London stage, he also appeared in Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins, Martin McDonagh’s Hangmen and most recently with his Olivier nominated performance as Tevye in Trevor Nunn’s production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof.’
