The actor Tom Hollander visited Selwyn on Friday January 23rd to attend a dinner for students currently studying English. Tom was a student here, reading English, in the 1980s; and since then he has received considerable acclaim for his performances on stage, television and in film. His best known roles include starring in “Rev” on BBC Two, which he helped create, and playing Lord Cutler Beckett in the movie series “Pirates of the Caribbean”. He was joined by another distinguished Selwyn English graduate, Professor Juliet John who is the Hildred Carlile Chair in English at Royal Holloway College, University of London. Others attending the Selwyn dinner included Dr Jean Chothia, who was Tom’s director of studies when he was at the College, and some of today’s undergraduate and graduate students in English.
