Pete Lee-Wilson

Father: Sydney Wilson Theatre Producer. Mother: Classical Dancer.

Trained by his mother as a dancer from the age of 4. At 16 trained at The Urdang Ballet School in London and at 19, Arts Educational London. Inspired by his performance as Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show at The Barbican, Pete formed a Rock Band “KIX” playing in pubs and clubs all over London. Focused on music at Arts, Pete had no intention of becoming an actor but on giving his best mate a lift on his motorcycle to the set of “Music Machine” (a British attempt at “Saturday Night Fever”) he was asked to play a small part in the film. At the end of filming the assistant director asked Pete if he would be interested in playing the lead in his first low budget film “Knights Electric” Pete agreed and an acting agent soon followed. A few months later Pete auditioned for one of the leading roles in “Remembrance” the first film made for Channel 4, co-starring Gary Oldman and Timothy Spall. Pete won the role and a future in acting began.
