David Troughton
David Troughton is an English actor, best known for his Shakespearean roles on the British stage.
He comes from a theatrical family: he is the son of Doctor Who actor, Patrick Troughton, brother of Michael Troughton, and father of both Sam Troughton and Warwickshire cricketer Jim Troughton.
His memorable performances include King Richard in Richard III (RSC), Bolingbroke in Richard II (RSC, 2000) and Duke Vincentio in Measure for Measure (Theatre de Complicite, 2004). His passion for The Bard is equalled, however, by his passion for cricket.
On television, his roles have included guest appearances in Survivors and Doctor Who, while he has also appeared in two separate episodes of Midsomer Murders, and in the first episode of the TV adaptation of The Last Detective.
