Raymond Andrew Winstone was born on February 19, 1957 in Homerton in the London Borough of Hackney, UK. He is an Emmy Award winning English actor.
He movie debut in Alan Clarke's uncompromising borstal depiction Scum. Ray also appeared in another cult youth-orientated film, The Who's 1979 Quadrophenia.
Continuing to work in film and television, his memorable portrayal of a wife-beater in Gary Oldman's 1997 Nil By Mouth earned him international recognition and defined him the archetypal Cockney hard-man.
Since then, he has starred in Antonia Bird's crime drama, Face, and Tim Roth's harrowing tale of child abuse, The War Zone.
He also starred in Cold Mountain (2003), King Arthur (2004) and Academy Awards crime The Departed (2006).
