Paul Bettany

You will recognise the BAFTA nominated actor Paul Bettany best as the superhero Vision, the trudging Geoffrey Chaucer in A Knight’s Tale, or maybe as the long suffering surgeon opposite Russell Crow in Master and Commander…a role which saw him learn to play a period accurate cello. But, his familial lineage is full of musical stars and Paul himself was even a busker on the London Underground for a time. What then will he choose for his Inheritance Tracks. Inherited: The Eton Rifles by The Jam Passing on: Hollow Ponds by Damon Albarn Producers: Anna Bailey and Ben Mitchell
