Actor Born: 1930 in Derbyshire, England Biography:British actor "John Wood" attended Oxford, where he served as president of the university's Dramatic Society. After serving as a lieutenant in the Royal Horse Academy, Wood joined the Old Vic in 1954, then spent several seasons with the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1967, he made his Broadway bow as the glib Guildenstern in "Tom Stoppard"'s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. He went to star in such Atlantic-crossing stage productions as Sherlock Holmes (in the title role), Travesties (for which he won a Tony Award), Tartuffe, Deathtrap, and Amadeus. His infrequent film roles include the reclusive computer whiz Stephen Falken in "WarGames" (1983) and the Bishop in "Ladyhawke" (1985). "John Wood" was seen as the heroine's chauffeur father in "Sabrina" (1995) and the forbidding Lord Brocklehurst in "Jane Eyre" (1996). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
