A performer whose primary training and early career are in live theatre, a background that tends to produce stamina, vocal strength and precision. Jonathan Bailey is proudly one, with credits from childhood roles to Olivier-winning work. Commentators on his Sexiest Man Alive year keep returning to the stage roots: they explain both the charisma and the discipline underneath it. He still speaks about live theatre as the place he feels most himself.
