John Hannah (born April 23, 1962) is a Scottish actor of film and television. He has appeared in Stephen Sommers' Mummy Series, Richard Curtis' Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow.

After completing his secondary education, Hannah enrolled at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now known as the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) in Glasgow. His time at the academy laid the foundation for his acting career, and he graduated with honors.

John Hannah's acting career took off in the late 1980s and early 1990s with notable stage performances, including roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company. His breakthrough on the big screen came with the critically acclaimed film "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994), where he played the endearing and scene-stealing character, Matthew. The film's success catapulted Hannah into international recognition.

Following his success in "Four Weddings and a Funeral," he continued to build a diverse and impressive filmography. He starred in films such as "Sliding Doors" (1998), "The Mummy" (1999), and its sequel "The Mummy Returns" (2001), gaining popularity for his charismatic and versatile performances. Additionally, he showcased his talent in television, earning praise for his roles in series like "Rebus" and "Spartacus."

Beyond the screen, he maintains a private personal life. In 1996, he married actress Joanna Roth, and the couple has two children. Despite his fame, he remains known for his down-to-earth demeanor and commitment to his craft.
