Seymour Hicks was born on January 30, 1871, in St. Hélier on the island of Jersey (GB).

Looking around the studio, Hicks noticed a young man who was working as an artist for another company but who had said that he wanted to be a film director.

 Seymour Hicks
Hicks was hired to star in a Gaiety Theatre revival of Little Jack Sheppard, in the role famously created by Fred Leslie, and he put sufficient individuality into his part to win himself the lead juvenile role, opposite Ada Reeve, in Edwardes's next production, the musical comedy The Shop Girl (1894, Charlie Appleby).
Hicks repeated his Shop Girl role on Broadway, but refused the 'unsuitable' juvenile part of Edwardes's My Girl (1895), which drove the angry manager to court to bar Hicks from breaking his contract by appearing anywhere else.
Hicks and Miss Terriss established themselves, during this period, not only as the town's favourite musical comedy hero and heroine, but also as the theatre's 'ideal couple'.
