John Corvin, the artist, was born in London in 1923. During the Second World War, he served for four years in the Merchant Navy in the North Atlantic, staging the odd Shakespeare play, and discovering his ability to draw, but he was set on pursuing a career in acting. In the 1950s living and working in London, he was an enthusiastic amateur actor, playing with the Shakespeare Players, at the City Library Institute. This is where our volunteer Roger Howells, another enthusiastic amateur actor and former stage manager at the RSC, met John Corvin for the first time. Corvin won a scholarship to RADA in 1959, and was a founding member of Peter Hall’s RSC at Stratford-upon-Avon between 1962 and 1966, making his home in the town. After leaving the RSC, he worked at the Oxford Playhouse and also on TV shows such as Z-Cards ad Softly, Softly. 

However, his reputation as a portrait and landscape painter was growing and he was much sought after for commissions.  But his love of acting never left him and he toured the UK with his one-man show about Buffalo Bill, and even performed it in Buffalo’ Bill’s home town of Cody in Wyoming.
