	Derek Jacobi
		Derek George Jacobi (born October 22, 1938) is a British actor, knighted in 1994 for his services to the theatre.
		Jacobi was born in London and educated at the University of Cambridge before embarking on his stage career.
		Although Jacobi's name was becoming known and he was increasingly busy with stage and screen acting, his big breakthrough did not come for another ten years.

	Derek Jacobi
		Jacobi made one of his most memorable screen impressions in Branagh's Hitchcock-inspired Dead Again (1991) portraying a hypnotist with a very shady background.
		On the small screen, Jacobi made his debut in the mini-series The Strauss Family as Lanner, but he is perhaps best recalled for his brilliant, award-winning turn as the twitching, stuttering Emperor in the I, Claudius in 1976, for which he won a BAFTA TV Award in 1976 for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
		Jacobi is one of two actors to hold both Danish and English knighthoods -- the other being Sir Laurence Olivier.

	Derek Jacobi Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Jacobi was born on October 22, 1938, in the East London area of Leytonstone.
		Jacobi's interpretation of the inexperienced prince would become the definitive version of the popular Shakespearean tragedy for his generation; ironically, Olivier had gained fame himself decades before with his portrayal; a future colleague of Jacobi's, Kenneth Branagh, would inherit the crown later.
		Jacobi is far from a traditionalist regarding interpretations of the bard's plays, and has been showered throughout his career with critical affection for bringing a modern feel to the centuries-old dramas.

	Derek Jacobi
		The mouth is a key to his performance in John Maybury's ``Love Is the Devil,'' a new film about Francis Bacon, the convention-smashing British painter whose images are among the most harrowing and provocative of any produced in the second half of the 20th century.
		Those familiar with Jacobi's long and distinguished career--including his mesmerizing portrayal of Claudius, the Roman emperor at the center of the Masterpiece Theatre television series of the early 1980s--know that he works from both inside (a deep emotional reality) and outside (all the little tics and quirks that can help establish personality).
		Jacobi recently finished work on another film, ``Up at the Villa,'' an adaptation of a Somerset Maugham story about an expatriate member of the English court in Fascist Italy.

	Derek Jacobi: A Special Kind of Hamlet
		Jacobi, pronounced Jack-Oby, with the accent on the Jack, (“My great grandfather was German”) speaks about Shakespearean characters as if they were living, breathing people today.
		Jacobi is, at present, playing the lead in “The Suicide,” an anti-establishment (especially the Soviet establishment) play written by Nikolai Erdman in Russia in the 1920s; supressed there and only now being rediscovered and produced all over the world.
		Jacobi’s performance perhaps the performance of the season, but the play has not yet found its audiences and it is by no means certain that it will have a long run.

	BBC 1980 Hamlet starring Derek Jacobi
		Jacobi's Prince of Denmark is a complex and embittered intellectual, whose occasional bursts of love, faith and even fury are transformed within an instant into weary skepticism.
		In a way, though hardly "innovative"--too many actors seem desperated to find (or invent) something wholly new in this too-famous character-- Jacobi is giving us a very postmodern, almost "deconstructed" Hamlet--attractive, sensitive, even high-minded on the surface, but underneath a man whose sanity and even noble intentions are ultimately untrustworthy.
		The more I see this version of the play, the more I think the Ghost to be a lying goblin damned, or even a trick of Hamlet's fantasy, and Hamlet himself more scourge than minister.
