Robert Carlyle mini-bio: Carlyle, born in Glasgow, was abandoned by his mother at the age of four and raised by his father, Joe. Inspired after reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible, he enrolled in acting class at the age of 21, at the Glasgow Arts Centre. In 1991, he and four friends founded an acting company and guest starred in The Bill. He first came to the attention of the public as a psychotic murderer in an episode of Cracker (in which he killed the character played by Christopher Eccleston among others), but was soon playing a more sympathetic role, that of Highland policeman, Hamish Macbeth, in the eponymous BBC comedy-drama.

Carlyle is perhaps best remembered for his role in The Full Monty, and Trainspotting, in which he played the psychopathic thug Begbie. Other memorable roles included the villain Renard in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, a cannibalistic Mexican-American War soldier in Ravenous, the gay lover of Fr. Greg in Priest and Hitler in Hitler: The Rise of Evil. In 1997, Carlyle married Anastasia Shirley. In 2002, she gave birth to their first child, daughter Ava. In 2004, their second child, Harvey, was born. The Carlyles' third child, Pearce Joseph, was born in 2006.
