Known for his iconic roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company — including Lucius in Julius Caesar, Ariel in The Tempest, and Polonius in Hamlet — Cyril has cemented himself as one of Britain’s most versatile and respected stage and screen talents. His BAFTA nomination came for his portrayal of Lance Sullivan in Russell T. Davies’ groundbreaking 2015 Channel 4 LGBTQ+ series Cucumber.
