CHARLES SHAUGHNESSY (Arthur, King of the Britons) was born to a showbiz family in London and educated at Eton and Cambridge University, where he tried to “do something sensible” by getting a degree in Law. It didn’t work. Performing in the celebrated Footlights Revue was a lot more fun than Torts and Land Law, so he decided to join the family business after all. After a few years of gainful employment in England, Charles pursued a gorgeous American actress to Los Angeles, married her, and raised two equally gorgeous daughters, who are the light of his life. He went on to a successful and multi-faceted career on stage and screen that took him from exotic locations like Hawaii and Paris to stages on Broadway and, yes, Ogunquit Playhouse: where he played King Arthur for the first time. Hopefully he can get it right this time! Charles considers himself extremely lucky to have made a living in this crazy business and has enjoyed every second of it. You might recognize him from roles on some beloved TV shows like The Nanny and Mad Men, but then again… you might not.
