Actor Nathaniel Curtis: ‘I realised It’s a Sin was a hit when Elton John called’
Nathaniel Curtis, 31, grew up near Bournemouth and trained at London’s East 15 Acting School. After five years of struggling to find work, his breakthrough role came playing Ash Mukherjee in It’s a Sin, Russell T Davies’ series about a group of gay friends growing up in the shadow of Aids in 1980s London. The critically acclaimed show became one of Channel 4’s biggest ever dramas and won multiple awards. Curtis now takes the title role of Britannicus in a new production of Jean Racine’s Roman tragedy at the Lyric Hammersmith theatre.
