Arran actor’s latest success

Paul Tinto, well known on Arran for his early brilliance as an actor, is making his way in the profession. He had planned to tour with last year’s Festival Fringe play, Release, but his agent came up with a better offer. At the at the beginning of May, the Hampstead Theatre in London is putting on a stage version of Chariots of Fire, the 1981 film about the British athlete, Eric Liddell. Paul has a part as a young Scot of Liddell’s acquaintance, and also appears in many group scenes. The Olympic theme is timely, and if the play does well there are hopes that it will transfer to the West End. We wish Paul all good fortune.
