   *David Rintoul left Edinburgh University with an MA and then gained a scholarship to RADA.  Immediately after leaving RADA he appeared in Aladdin at the Connaught Theatre in Worthing and has never looked back.  Repertory seasons followed in Newcastle, Chester, Guildford and The Royal Lyceum in Edinburgh where he is shortly to return playing Theseus in Racine’s Phaedre.  Mr. Rintoul’s many credits include work with the celebrated Joint Stock Company, itself key in forging the history of British dramatic literature, developing the talents of such as Caryl Churchill and David Hare, where he appeared in the original productions of Fanshen, Speakers, Yesterday’s News, Devil’s Island, It’s a Mad, Mad World My Masters, Epsom Downs and An Optimistic Thrust; for the Royal National Theatre his appearances have included the role of Paris in The Trojan War Will Not Take Place, Faulkland in The Rivals (having previously played in Sheridan’s School for Scandal at Greenwich and on a tour of India in 1982) with the late Sir Michael Hordern and as Demetrius in A Midsummer’s Night Dream; he played Bolingbroke to Sir Derek Jacobi’s Richard II and Richmond/Edward IV to the same’s Richard III in the West End at the Phoenix Theatre; for the RSC he has been seen as Prince Hal in Henry IV, Parts I & II, in the Globe Season he was hailed for his appearances as Duke Senior/Duke Frederick in As You Like It (a play he had previously appeared in at the Birmingham Rep); at the Royal Court he has been seen in the original casts of Etta Jenks and Sergeant Ola and His Followers; he has twice played the title role in Macbeth, both at the Ludlow Festival and on an Old Vic Tour alongside appearing as Morell in Shaw’s Candida which he also essayed at both the Arts Theatre and the King’s Head; appeared as Sir Robert Chiltern in the lengthy West End run of Sir Peter Halls’ celebrated production of An Ideal Husband, appeared as Aimwell in a hailed production of The Beaux Stratagem at the Lyric, Hammersmith and even has been seen as Nick Arnstein in Funny Girl at Sheffield’s Crucible.  Now that’s what I call a career.

Mr. Rintoul’s career on television is equally distinguished.  He has played the title role of Dr. Finaly in Doctor Finaly for the first, second and third run of this successful series.  He has been seen as Sir John Philips in Inspector Alleyn and as Wheatley in the award winning broadcast of Kinsey; as John Cavendish in Mysterious Affair at Styles, as Archie Weir in the Weir of Hermiston and as Ewan Cameron in The Flight of the Heron.  Among his many other appearances have been key roles in Lord Peter Wimsey, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Warship, Crown Court, The Prince Regent, Henry VIII, Lillie, The Mallens, a celebrated Yasha in The Cherry Orchard, was Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice for the BBC long before they’d heard of Colin Firth, as Boswell in Dialogue in the Dark and Dr. Carter in Private Practice, amongst a huge list of credits.   He has even played the Werewolf in The Legend of The Wereworld opposite Peter Cushing.
