Jos Vantyler

It was announced by Deadline Hollywood on April 10th 2024 that Jos Vantyler and Niamh McCormack would both star in a new Action Series Drama ‘Cold Mind‘.

[6] In 2022 he joined the regular cast of the sixth series Believe It alongside Richard Wilson, Ian McKellen and Stephen Mangan on BBC Radio 4.

[12] He played the lead opposite Academy Award Nominee Susannah York in The Tennessee Williams Season for The Hampstead New End Theatre.

[18][19] In 2018 he was the first actor ever to play the roles of both Don Armado and his page Moth at the same time in Shakespeare's Globe's production of Love's Labour's Lost at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse under the direction of Nick Bagnall.

The Independent wrote "Much less conventionally, Vantyler plays both himself and, switching from hissing Hispanic to yapping Northern, his own diminutive page ("my tender juvenile"), Moth.

The resulting schizoid conversations and the solicitous care for Moth’s person are a blissfully crackpot fancy" and "Jos Vantyler is inspired as Don Armado, hilariously capturing the mangled verbal extravagance of this Spanish grandee".

[citation needed] In September 2013, Sir Jonathan Miller directed the Gala Performance of William Shakespeare's King Lear at The Old Vic in London.

Standard Magazine wrote "Jos Vantyler shimmered and glowered as a camp, dastardly Oswald and his death scene was truly gripping... you could tell he was a Miller choice".

[23] Others went on to add "Jos Vantyler gives a scene stealer of a performance as Oswald, up front but perfectly controlled, making a real person of someone who could easily be just a cypher".

[citation needed] Emmy Award winning writer Ron Hutchinson's play, Dead On Her Feet is set in the American Great Depression.

[28] Vantyler stars as Mel Carney the Dance Marathon promoter, the protagonist of the piece, directed by Barry Kyle, Honorary Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

[29] Bella Todd of Time Out offered that "Jos Vantyler's sensuous-lipped, sinister-eyed Master of Ceremonies ... conjures romance, rivalry and crises from thin air".

The Bristol Post wrote "the scariest villain of all time is The Child Catcher (Jos Vantyler), and he was no less frightening on the stage than he was on the big screen, so be prepared for those fears to be reignited.

"[41] "the show's limelight is overwhelmingly pilfered by Jos Vantyler's malevolent Childcatcher, performing a less snivelly but equally intimidating interpretation of Robert Helpmann's original villain.

Preceded [sic] onto the stage by his own silhouette, Vantyler's scourge of childhood happiness induces boot quaking from adults and children alike, making his fellow villains seem mildly mediocre by comparison."

During the 2018–19 season, Vantyler played the part of Ms Gulch/The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, directed by Liam Steel.
