Biography

Simon MacCorkindale was a British actor, director, and writer, best known for his iconic roles in both television and film. With a career that spanned over four decades, he became a household name in the entertainment industry, celebrated for his diverse range of roles across various genres, from action and drama to science fiction.

Early Life and Background
Born on February 12, 1952, in Ely, Cambridgeshire, Simon Charles Pendered MacCorkindale grew up in a family with a rich military and artistic heritage. His father, Peter MacCorkindale, was a former RAF pilot, and his mother, Gill, came from a family with Scottish roots. Simon was the first-born child, with his younger brother Duncan working as an accountant. Raised in a well-rounded environment, Simon developed a passion for the arts at a young age. His talent for storytelling and performance was evident early on, setting the stage for his future career.

In 1984, Simon MacCorkindale married actress and long-time friend Susan George, marking a significant personal milestone in his life. Their bond, built on mutual respect and shared experiences in the entertainment industry, was a strong and enduring partnership. Together, they shared a love of animals and eventually became owners of the Georgian Arabians Arabian stud farm in Exmoor, UK. Their shared passion for horses and the serene life of rural England was a retreat from the often hectic pace of their careers in show business. Simon and Susan were known for their close-knit relationship, often working on various projects together and supporting each other both professionally and personally. Their marriage, lasting until Simon’s untimely death in 2010, stood as a testament to their deep connection and shared commitment to each other.

Career Highlights
Simon’s big break came in 1978 when he appeared in the film Death on the Nile, based on the famous Agatha Christie novel. His portrayal of Simon Doyle helped launch his career, making him a recognizable face in both the UK and abroad. Following this, Simon moved into television, where he became widely known for his role as Jonathan Chase in the 1983 TV series Manimal, a groundbreaking show where he played a man with the ability to transform into animals.

Notable TV Roles
In the early 1980s, Simon achieved further recognition with his role as Jonathan Chase in the cult classic Manimal (1983). The series, known for its mix of science fiction and action, saw Simon play a man with the ability to transform into animals, showcasing his versatility as an actor. The show’s premise, though short-lived, became a standout moment in Simon’s career.

Simon also made notable appearances in television dramas such as Falcon Crest (1984–1986), where he played the role of Greg Reardon, a character who quickly became entangled in the soap opera’s complex relationships. His time on Falcon Crest was pivotal, with Simon’s character becoming a significant part of the show’s intricate drama.

Simon MacCorkindale played the role of Peter Sinclair in the action-packed international spy drama Counterstrike (1990-1993). As a former cop turned security expert, Sinclair was a key member of a covert team tasked with taking down global threats. Simon brought a unique depth to the character, portraying a man driven by justice and resourcefulness, yet haunted by his past. His performance blended intense action with emotional complexity, allowing Sinclair to evolve from a tough, action-oriented hero to a more vulnerable, morally conflicted figure. Counterstrike gave Simon the chance to explore a different type of role compared to his earlier work, and it broadened his international appeal, introducing him to a global audience. The series was known for its fast-paced, high-stakes plots, and Simon’s portrayal of Sinclair was central to its success.

However, it was his portrayal of Harry Harper in the British medical drama Casualty (1999–2006) that became one of his most beloved and iconic roles. Simon played the charismatic, yet troubled, emergency room doctor for an impressive 230 episodes of Casualty, as well as 4 episodes of its spin-off show Holby City. Over his six-year run, Simon’s character became a key part of the show’s rich, emotional storytelling. His dedication to the role was evident, as he only missed 7 episodes in total throughout his time on the series, solidifying his place as one of the series’ most prominent characters.

Film Career
In addition to his work in television, Simon featured in the film The Riddle of the Sands (1979), a World War I espionage thriller based on the novel by Erskine Childers. Simon portrayed Arthur Davies, a key role in the suspense-filled narrative that involved naval intelligence and international intrigue. The film was a hit in its genre, showcasing Simon’s range in more dramatic, period pieces.

One of his most famous film roles came in Jaws 3D (1983), where he played Philip FitzRoyce, a character involved in the chaos caused by the great white shark terrorizing a theme park. While the film was more famous for its gimmick of 3D rather than critical acclaim, it was another major moment in Simon’s diverse filmography.

His film and TV roles often spanned across genres, from thrillers to romantic dramas, but Simon’s distinctive presence remained a constant across all his performances. Over the years, Simon’s body of work solidified his place in both British and American television and film, where he continues to be remembered for his performances in classic, genre-defining roles.

Stage Work and Theatre Performances
ne of Simon’s most notable stage roles was as Michael Starkwedder in Agatha Christie’s The Unexpected Guest. This play, a gripping murder mystery, gave Simon the opportunity to showcase his ability to portray complex, morally ambiguous characters. His performance was well-received, demonstrating his natural talent for suspenseful and psychological drama.

Simon also starred as Andrew Wyke in the classic thriller Sleuth by Anthony Shaffer. He performed in the production several times during the early 1980s, including a memorable run in the Hollywood theater scene during the revival of interest in British plays. Simon’s portrayal of Wyke, a wealthy playwright caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with his wife’s lover, earned critical praise for its intensity and wit. He later returned to Sleuth in a UK tour in 2008, highlighting his enduring connection to the stage and his mastery of intricate, intellectual characters.

Another of Simon’s stage triumphs came in the role of Captain Von Trapp in the beloved musical The Sound of Music. In this production, Simon made his debut in musical theater, a genre that was somewhat different from his usual work. His portrayal of the strict but loving father figure was both heartfelt and commanding, and the role allowed Simon to explore a more emotionally complex character in a beloved story. His performance was particularly notable for how he brought warmth and humanity to the iconic character, making it a memorable part of his stage career.

Legacy and Lasting Impact
Simon MacCorkindale’s career spanned across multiple mediums and industries, and he left a lasting mark on television, film, and theater. His diverse roles and ability to transform into a variety of characters made him a respected figure in the entertainment world.
