Cast: David Schofield as Mercer

David Schofield (Mercer) has enjoyed success on stage, films and television. Born in Manchester, England as one of 10 children in a working class family, he caught the acting bug at the age of 12. He left a rough inner city boy's school three years later and took various odd jobs before writing a letter to a local repertory theatre.
Finally granted an audition two years later, in 1967, Schofield was accepted on the lowest rung of the ladder as student assistant stage manager and was paid all of 10 dollars a week. There he worked in every department as a propmaker, soundman, writer, stage sweeper and teamaker, putting in 14 hour days six days a week.
After two seasons, Schofield applied to acting colleges, and was accepted by the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art at the age of 19. Following three years at the Academy, Schofield acquired an agent and left school early to pursue his path as a working actor (30 years later, Schofield maintains the same agent).
Schofield's distinguished stage career has seen the actor performing some of the great classical roles including Angelo in “Measure for Measure” and Mark Antony in “Julius Caesar” for the Royal Shakespeare Company and a long association with the Royal National Theatre appearing in numerous productions, including “The American Clock,” “Antony and Cleopatra,” “The Elephant Man” (for which he created the title role), “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” “As You Like It” and “Plenty.”  He's also acted on the West End stage in both musicals and straight plays.
Making his feature film debut in “The Dogs of War,” Schofield has appeared in a wide range of roles in such films as “An American Werewolf in London,” “The Last of the Mohicans,” “Anna Karenina,” “The Musketeer,” “From Hell,” “Superstition,” “Unstoppable” and as Falco in Ridley Scott's Academy Award-winning “Gladiator.”  Schofield's television credits are too numerous to mention, but one worth mentioning is his current starring role in Britain's Channel Four series “Goldplated.”
Schofield's greatest passions in life are his 25 year long marriage to wife Lally, and their children Fred and Blanche.
