About Brian Blessed
Brian Blessed was born at Montagu Hospital in Mexborough, Yorkshire, the son of William Blessed, a socialist miner, and Hilda Wall, Blessed.
He attended Bolton on Dearne Secondary Modern School, but was forced to leave at the age of 15 after his father suffered an industrial accident. He then spent several years working in a number of jobs, ranging from an undertaker to a plasterer's assistant.
Blessed completed his national service as a parachutist in the Royal Air Force. He started drama training at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, where his contemporaries included Patrick Stewart.
His autobiography, Dynamite Kid, was published in 1992.
