George Irving
George Irving (born 6 May 1954) is a British television actor best known for his extensive work in UK drama series. He first rose to prominence in the late 1970s after graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where he honed a craft that would later define his versatile screen presence. Over the decades Irving has become a familiar face on British television, delivering memorable performances in series such as Holby City, where he portrayed the charismatic consultant surgeon Anton Meyer, and Law & Order: UK, where his portrayal of Detective Sergeant Joe Haines added a layer of gritty realism to the procedural format. In addition to his television work, Irving has appeared in several notable British films, including the 1999 thriller The End of the Affair and the 2005 drama The Last Drop, showcasing his ability to transition seamlessly between the small and big screen. His stage credentials are equally impressive; he has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company, taking on classic roles such as Falstaff in Henry IV and King Lear in the eponymous tragedy, earning critical praise for his powerful command of Shakespearean language. Irving’s career longevity is marked by his willingness to embrace diverse genres, from period pieces like Poldark to contemporary comedies such as The Wrong Mans. Beyond acting, he is an avid supporter of charitable causes, regularly participating in fundraising events for theatre education and health charities. His personal life remains relatively private, yet his professionalism and dedication continue to inspire younger actors within the industry. With a career spanning more than four decades, George Irving remains a respected veteran whose contributions have helped shape the landscape of modern British television and theatre.
