Ian Charleson was a Scottish actor best known for his role as Eric Liddell in 'Chariots of Fire' (1981), and as Hamlet in a celebrated 1989 National Theatre production.
Charleson's performance as the principled Scottish missionary-athlete Eric Liddell captured the combination of religious conviction and institutional defiance that Nolan identified with his own boarding school experience.
