Nigel Havers is one of Britain's best known actors, mainly for his many roles on television since the 1970s. He was born as the younger son of Michael Havers, QC, a Conservative MP for Wimbledon, Attorney General (1979-1987), and Lord High Chancellor of England (1987).

After a private education, Havers attended a drama school attached to the Oxford Playhouse and at the same time worked in university productions, always in revues and comedies. He appeared in "Twelfth Night" in a revue at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which transferred to London where it was seen by an American director who took the show to the States.

Havers' starring roles on British television have included series such as Nicholas Nickleby (1977), A Horseman Riding By (1978), Don't Wait Up (1983), The Charmer (1987), and Dangerfield (1995). He has also made notable guest appearances in cult series such as The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007) and The Life of Rock with Brian Pern (2014), and played the regular role of Lewis Archer in the soap opera Coronation Street (1960).
