Christopher Lawrence Neame was born on September the 12th, 1947 in London, UK, but in 1950 moved with his family to Sussex after his father wanted to escape the big fog. After first working at the Oxford Playhouse, and then in weekly Rep at Great Yarmouth, Christopher Neame acknowledged that he didn't really know how to act, so went on to formally train for three years at 'The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama'.
