overview:
Wycliffe is a British television series, based on W. J. Burley's novels about Detective Superintendent Charles Wycliffe. It was produced by HTV and broadcast on the ITV Network, following a pilot episode on 7 August 1993, between 24 July 1994 and 5 July 1998. The series was filmed in Cornwall, with a production office in Truro. Music for the series was composed by Nigel Hess and was awarded the Royal Television Society award for the best television theme.

In later seasons, the tone becomes more naturalistic and there is more emphasis on internal politics within the police.

Pierwsze doświadczenia aktorskie Nighy zdobywał jeszcze w liceum, grając w szkolnych przedstawieniach. Formalne wykształcenie zyskał, studiując w latach 70. w Guildford School of Acting. W trakcie kolejnych dwóch dekad Nighy stworzył dziesiątki świetnie przyjętych (choć głównie drugoplanowych) ról w filmach i serialach telewizyjnych oraz przedstawieniach teatralnych. Prawdziwą popularność przyniosła mu jednak dopiero kreacja cynicznego gwiazdora rocka Billy'ego Macka we wspomnianej na początku komedii Richarda Curtisa. Wkrótce potem o aktora upomniało się Hollywood. W Ameryce stał się specjalistą od czarnych charakterów. Wszyscy pamiętają jego Davy'ego Jonesa z "Piratów z Karaibów" oraz Viktora z serii "Underworld". Najlepsze role nadal gra jednak na Wyspach, o czym świadczą Złoty Glob za "Gideon's Daughter" i nagrody BAFTA za "Stan gry", a także "To właśnie miłość". Prywatnie gwiazdor jest ojcem aktorki Mary Nighy.

biography:
William Francis Nighy, 12 Aralık 1949 tarihinde Caterham, Surrey, İngiltere'de dünyaya gelmiştir. İrlanda asıllı bir psikiyatri hemşiresi olan anne ve garaj yöneticisi bir babanın oğlu olarak büyüyen Nighy, gençlik yıllarında yazar olma hayaliyle okuldan erken ayrılıp Paris'e gitmiş, ancak daha sonra oyunculuğa yönelerek prestijli Guildford School of Acting'de eğitim almıştır. Kariyerine 1970'lerde Liverpool'daki Everyman Theatre'da ve ardından Londra'da Royal National Theatre bünyesinde sahneye çıkarak güçlü bir tiyatro temeliyle başlamıştır. İngiliz tiyatro sahnelerinde Tom Stoppard ve Harold Pinter gibi ustaların oyunlarında sergilediği performanslarla adından sıkça söz ettirmiş, pek çok kez Laurence Olivier ve Tony ödüllerine aday gösterilmiştir.

Nighy'nin ekrandaki yolculuğu 1980'lerde başlamış olsa da, onu geniş kitlelerin dikkatine sunan ilk önemli çıkışlarından biri komedi filmi "Still Crazy"deki (1998) yaşlanan rock yıldızı rolü olmuştur. Ancak onu gerçek anlamda uluslararası bir yıldıza dönüştüren ve sinema kariyerinde bir milat kabul edilen performans, Richard Curtis'in sevilen romantik komedisi "Aşk Her Yerde" (Love Actually) (2003) filminde canlandırdığı unutulmaz ve sıra dışı müzisyen Billy Mack karakteridir. Bu rol ona BAFTA En İyi Yardımcı Erkek Oyuncu ödülünü kazandırmıştır. Aynı yıl İngiliz televizyonunun en saygın yapımlarından olan "State of Play" dizisindeki performansıyla da BAFTA Televizyon Ödülü'nü kucaklayarak yeteneğinin genişliğini kanıtlamıştır.

Küresel gişede devleşen serilere adım atan oyuncu, "Karayip Korsanları" (Pirates of the Caribbean) serisinde motion-capture teknolojisiyle hayat verdiği ikonik kötü adam Davy Jones ve "Karanlıklar Ülkesi" (Underworld) serisinde canlandırdığı vampir lideri Viktor karakterleriyle fantastik ve aksiyon sinemasında da silinmez bir iz bırakmıştır. 2000'ler ve 2010'lar boyunca "Zombilerin Şafağı" (Shaun of the Dead) (2004), "Skandal" (Notes on a Scandal) (2006), "Operasyon Valkyrie" (Valkyrie) (2008), "Harry Potter ve Ölüm Yadigârları: Bölüm 1" (2010), "Marigold Oteli'nde Hayatımın Tatili" (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) (2012) ve "Zamanda Aşk" (About Time) (2013) gibi gişe rekorları kıran yapımlarda karizması, kusursuz diksiyonu ve incelikli mizah anlayışıyla öne çıkmıştır.

Televizyon dünyasında "Gideon's Daughter" (2005) ile Altın Küre kazanan ve "Page Eight" (2011) gibi casusluk dramalarında başrol üstlenen usta aktör, kariyerinin geç döneminde çarpıcı bir dramatik zirve yaşamıştır. Akira Kurosawa'nın klasik eseri "Ikiru"nun İngiliz uyarlaması olan "Yaşamak" (Living) (2022) filminde, ölümcül bir hastalığa yakalandığını öğrenen ve hayatını yeniden anlamlandırmaya çalışan bürokrat Bay Williams rolüyle muazzam bir övgü toplamış ve kariyerinin ilk Oscar (Akademi Ödülü) adaylığını En İyi Erkek Oyuncu dalında elde etmiştir. Bill Nighy, kendine has zarif stili, etkileyici ses tonu ve derinlikli karakter yaratma becerisiyle hem İngiliz sinemasının hem de Hollywood'un en sevilen ve saygı duyulan karakter oyuncularından biri olarak üretken kariyerini sürdürmektedir.
