Tim McInnerny (born September 18, 1956) is an English actor. "McInnerny" is stressed on the penultimate syllable (IPA ).
He was brought up in Cheadle Hulme in Cheshire and Stroud, Gloucestershire, and educated at Marling School, Stroud, and Wadham College, Oxford.
He is best known for his roles in Blackadder as Lord Percy (series one and two) and Captain Darling (series four). He decided not to reprise his role as Percy in series three due to a fear of being typecast, although he did appear in a guest role as the Scarlet Pimpernel in the episode "Nob and Nobility". This made him the only person other than Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson to appear in all four series of "Blackadder".
He has also worked as a dramatic actor, appearing on stage in the original production of Pravda with Anthony Hopkins, and on television in Edge of Darkness (1985) where he played a nervous and embittered anarchist. He has starred in Notting Hill (1999) as Max, as well as The Emperor's New Clothes (2001), 102 Dalmatians (2000), A True Story (1997) and Wetherby (1985).
In 1989 he co-starred with Kate Bush in the music video for her song "This Woman's Work". He also appeared in the Westlife video for "Uptown Girl", along with Robert Bathurst, Crispin Bonham-Carter, Ioan Gruffudd and James Wilby.
In 2004, he joined the cast of the BBC/Kudos spy drama Spooks for its third season, playing Oliver Mace, a semi-regular character.
In 2006, he starred in the BBC adaptation of The Line of Beauty as Gerald Fedden.
