Thomas Wingfield

Jason Earl, Sherlock Holmes

Thomas trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and studied at the University of East Anglia. Originally from Leeds, he has been performing professionally for over thirteen years across theatre, television and film.

His most recent work has been with Vienna’s English Theatre itself, playing the arrogant Vincent in the outrageous comedy What’s in a Name, and as Sherlock Holmes in Philip Dart’s previous adaptation, Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of the Four. Other theatre credits include the West End’s longest-running play, The Mousetrap (St. Martin’s Theatre, London), Brassed Off (Derby Theatre), and Romeo & Juliet (Actors From The London Stage/USA Tour). He has performed extensively with the Pop-Up Globe overseas, appearing in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Merchant of Venice (Sydney/Auckland), as well as Romeo & Juliet and Much Ado About Nothing (Auckland). Further stage work includes One Last Thing (For Now) (Old Red Lion Theatre, London), Frankenstein’s Stooge (King’s Head Theatre, London), Love in the Time of Gilmore Girls and Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho (Theatre503, London), and Pied Piper (The Yard Theatre, London).

On screen, Thomas has appeared in Meet the Richardsons (Dave/UKTV), Making Ends Meat (Strangers in a Cinema), and the short film Love Bitten, where his performance as Alex earned him the Lense Film Festival Best Actor Award. Other screen credits include Mefjus – Suicide Bassline (HAUS Pictures).

Outside of acting he is the host of The Oldest Question: A Doctor Who Gameshow Podcast and one half of the comedy sketch duo The Exquisite Corpses.

Thomas is delighted to be returning to Vienna’s English Theatre for his third visit, and excited to be donning the deerstalker once again as the world’s most famous detective!
