George MacKay
5th February 2014
George MacKay - one of the UK's finest young actors - had quite a 2013 with hugely acclaimed lead performances in three major features released within days of each other. 2014 looks like it's starting the same way - but this time he's adding theatre and awards shows to his repertoire, not least as one of the 2014 EE BAFTA Rising Stars. As he also steps into the limelight as British Council's own nominated Shooting Star at Berlinale this week, George takes a moment to reflect on the films that have mattered to him most.
