Michael Jibson (born 16 December 1980) is an English actor, director, writer and voice over artist.
Jibson started his career in the theatre. He has been nominated for an Olivier Award twice, once when he was only 22 in 2003, for his work on the West End musical Our House, and again in 2018, when he won the award for his role of King George III in the original London production of the smash hit Broadway Musical
Hamilton.
He is known for being a versatile actor, with a theatrical career that jumps between Musical Theatre, modern and classical theatre, taking lead roles musicals in the West End and leading roles at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Donmar Warehouse, Shakespeares Globe and the Almeida Theatre.
His many film roles include roles in blockbusters such as ''Star Wars: The Last Jedi'', ''Beauty and the Beast'', and ''Les Misérables'', but also more intimate drama such as the independent film ''The Lighthouse'', which is a psychological thriller based on a real event in 1801 which became known as the Smalls Lighthouse incident. Jibson wrote, produced, and starred in the film, which won a Welsh BAFTA.
His work in television is equally varied, with numerous television roles such as ''Four Lives'', based on the true story Stephen Port murders, ''James Graham's Quiz'', about the 2001 ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'' scandal and ''No Return'', in which he stars in the role of a father whose son is accused of sexual assault on holiday in Turkey.
He is a patron of the National Youth Music Theatre and, remaining close to the area where he grew up and his roots he is also the patron of the Hessle Theatre Company, the place where he first took to the stage in 1994.
Jibson founded the Hull and East Yorkshire Arts and Culture Trust (HEYACT) to support and foster the arts in Hull and East Yorkshire, encourage production companies to utilise the region for projects in order to create jobs and confidence and in particular to provide opportunities and encourage young people of all backgrounds into the arts and culture sector.
In 2022 Jibson was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters Degree from the University of Hull.
