The actor Tom Hollander became the latest Honorary Fellow at Selwyn in an installation ceremony in the Chapel on Thursday 21 January. Tom came to the College in 1985 to read English, and since leaving Cambridge he has become internationally known for his acting roles in television, radio and film. His work ranges from the comedy drama “Rev” on BBC Two to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, and last year he won a Best Actor award from the Royal Television Society.
Tom was welcomed back to Selwyn by Dr Jean Chothia, who was his director of studies in the 1980s.
Before the installation, Tom went into Chapel for a quick rehearsal – to the delight of the choir who were practising for Choral Evensong. He is pictured with them and with the college chaplain, Hugh Shilson-Thomas, and our director of music Sarah MacDonald.
