Thomas Tyndale Godwin (born 19th December 1975 in Scarborough) is an actor and movement specialist. Tom trained in Paris at the École International de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq. In TV and Film, upcoming projects include The English (Hugo Blick), Knockers (Lucy Cohen), and Ridley Scott's Napoleon. Recent Theatre credits include playing Andy Warhol, Bobby Kennedy and Enoch Powell in Best of Enemies at the Young Vic, which will soon transfer to the Noel Coward Theatre in London's West End. In '96 after two years studying with Jacques Lecoq, Tom spent another five working and creating theatre abroad in Barcelona, Tokyo, Tashkent, Porto and New York. On relocating back to London he set about creating new work as part of Blow Up Theatre, taking shows to the Edinburgh Festival and touring the UK. Early roles in TV and Theatre kept him afloat as did teaching movement in many of the UK's top drama schools until he was cast as part of the original company of ENRON produced by Headlong Theatre. This in turn lead to an ongoing creative partnership with his agents, Scott Marshall Partners and new work at the National Theatre, Royal Court, Young Vic, Shakespeare's Globe, Park Avenue Armory NYC and West End Theatres, including originating the part of Phil Spector in Tina! The Tina Turner Musical. Alongside his acting training at the Lecoq school he later studied at the L.E.M with Pascal Lecoq and Grikor Belekian and continues to teach Movement as well as working as a Movement Director and Movement Consultant. This movement work is varied and wide ranging and includes motion capture at the Imaginarium Studios, assisting the inspirational Scott Ambler at the National Theatre and Movement Coaching stunt performers on Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
