Paul Hilton

Biography

Paul Hilton is widely regarded as one of the most versatile and emotionally precise actors of his generation. Born into a working-class family in Oldham, he credits a dedicated drama teacher for "saving" him by introducing him to the world of regional theatre. Hilton became a global critical darling for his dual role as Morgan (E.M. Forster) and Walter in the epic play The Inheritance, a performance that earned him a Tony nomination on Broadway. In the mid-2020s, Hilton has become a "must-watch" presence in prestige television and high-end West End productions. He recently captivated audiences as Robert Hobden in the hit series Slow Horses and delivered an Olivier-nominated performance as Peter Stockmann in An Enemy of the People (2024). As of early 2026, he has just concluded a triumphant, "euphoric" run as Ebenezer Scrooge at the Old Vic, a role that solidified his status as a premiere leading man of the London stage.
