Jim Carter mini-bio: A husband to Academy Award nominee Imelda Staunton, Jim not only has his hands full with a long and successful acting career, but a wife and daughter as well. Some of his best known movie credits include "Shakespeare in Love", "Richard III", "Ella Enchanted" and "The Madness of King George". Considered quite the playful person, he enjoys entertaining both himself and others around him by conjuring tricks. In certain films he is seen not only performing magic tricks, but also juggling. A 1984 diary entry by Alan Bennett (scriptwriter of A Private Function (1984)) mentions Carter amusing himself on the set between takes by doing conjuring tricks. In the finished film he performs a magic trick as Inspector Noble, and in Shakespeare in Love (1998) can be seen juggling. Daughter, Bessie, born in 1993 Was a member of the "Madhouse Company of London", a comedy troupe which performed in Boston in the 1970s. Other members were Marcel Steiner, Marc Weil and Tommy Shands. Ken Campbell, who appears in "A Fish Called Wanda" as George Thomason's lawyer was also associated with the troupe.
