Paterson Joseph

Paterson Joseph is a British actor and author. He is one of the UK's most distinguished stage and screen actors, with roles including Alan Johnson in Peep Show and the Marquis de Carabas in Neverwhere. Julius Caesar and Me is his memoir about playing the title role in an all-Black cast production of Julius Caesar at the RSC — exploring what it means to be a Black actor performing Shakespeare, and how the themes of power, ambition, and betrayal resonate with the Black experience in Britain. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers a powerful, personal account of Shakespeare, race, and performance — a memoir that illuminates both the stage and the society it reflects.
