biography
Ken Stott, son of a Scottish father and a Sicilian mother, was a youth member of the band Keyhole , some of which later co-founded the Bay City Rollers .

Two years later, in 1977, Stott made his first television debut in a BBC production . While he soon gained some notoriety as a stage actor, the breakthrough in front of the camera was a long time coming. The decisive stepping stone was the six-part tragicomedy Takin 'Over the Asylum by BBC Scotland , whose director and writer had previously seen him on stage and discovered him for herself. Ken Stott is now a very popular actor, especially in Great Britain, but has also worked in Hollywood productions, including Plunkett & Macleane in 1997 and King Arthur in 2004 . In 2005 he took on the role of Adolf Hitler in the television film The Niece - Hitler's Forbidden Love . Stott saw the portrayal as a particular challenge because he is of Jewish faith. In 2006 and 2007 Stott played Detective Inspector John Rebus in ten episodes so far in the series Rebus based on the crime novels and stories by Ian Rankin . In Peter Jackson's film adaptation of the Tolkien novel The Hobbit , he took on the role of Balin .
