Tony Slattery (born 9 November 1959) is a British
actor and comedian.  

Slattery was born in Stonebridge, London.  In his
youth, he represented England at under-15 judo. 
He studied Mediaeval and Modern Languages at
Cambridge University, where he also became a
member of the Cambridge Footlights. Like his
contemporaries Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, he
became a staple of the British television comedy
circuit.

He was a regular on Whose Line Is It Anyway?,
starred in his own improvisational comedy series
S&M alongside Mike McShane, and has appeared on
other panel quizzes such as Have I Got News For
You. He was a regular on the TV version of the
quiz show Just a Minute and was also on the radio
version several times.

As a serious actor he has appeared in The Crying
Game, Peter's Friends, and The Wedding Tackle. He
appeared on the London stage in the musicals Me
and My Girl and Radio Times and in the play
Neville's Island.
At the end of the 1980s, he became a film critic,
presenting his own show on British television,
Saturday Night at the Movies. He also appeared in
the ITV sitcom That's Love with Jimmy Mulville.

In the mid-1990s he suffered what he described as
a 'mid-life crisis' which culminated in 1996 with
a six-month period of reclusiveness, during which
he did not answer his door or telephone, "or open
bills, or wash", he says. "I just sat".
Eventually, one of his friends broke down the door
of his flat and convinced him to go to hospital.
Now recovered, he has returned to presenting on
British cable television. In January 2005 he
appeared in the TV Movie Ahead of the Class with
Julie Walters.
