British actor Julian Sands is frequently seen world-wide in films, on stage, and on television. He has appeared in over 100 films including The Killing Fields, A Room With A View, Leaving Las Vegas, Arachnophobia, Oceans 13, and The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. On television, he is best known for his recent role on 24 but has also been seen on Smallville, Ghost Whisperer, Dexter and Banshee. In 2005, Sands was approached by the Nobel Prize winning playwright and poet Harold Pinter to prepare a set of Pinter's poems for a special presentation in London. Working closely with Pinter, he was granted a rare insight into his personality, life, and work. This extraordinary collaboration evolved into a wonderfully humorous and fascinating solo show directed by John Malkovich and presented at the Edinburgh Festival in 2011 and subsequently in New York, Chicago, London, and Paris, among others.
A Celebration of Harold Pinter gets to the soul of the man - poet, playwright, husband, political activist, Nobel winner, mortal. The show was nominated for a 2013 Drama Desk Award
