Jonathan Adam Lynn (born 3 April 1943) is an English stage and film director, producer, writer, and actor.
[5][6] Lynn's first West End appearance was in a stage production of Green Julia, for which he was nominated for the 1965 Plays and Players Award as Most Promising New Actor.
[9] Lynn played the Irish medical student Danny Hooley in the second series of the television comedy Doctor in the House in 1970.
His film appearances have included roles in Prudence and the Pill (1968), The House That Dripped Blood (1971), Romance with a Double Bass (1974), and Three Men and a Little Lady (1990).
The Independent newspaper called the book "a charming memoir, full of amusing and insightful anecdotes about the many entertainers Lynn has worked with" and described it as a combination of autobiography and how-to manual for comedy.
"[20] Lynn won praise for his direction of the 2010 London stage version of Yes, Prime Minister, which he co-wrote as well.
In the words of the blurb, ‘Two giants of the twentieth century who loved each other like father and son until they found themselves on opposing sides in World War II.
Their complex relationship – noble, comic and absurd – changed history.’ [22][23] Lynn also co-wrote the stage play of "Clue", together with Hunter Foster, Eric Price and Sandy Rustin.
