Kind people, lending their voice

Eddie Marsan

Eddie Marsan is a British actor whose award-winning performances span film and television — from Happy-Go-Lucky, which won him Best Supporting Actor honours from the London Film Critics' Circle and the National Society of Film Critics, to Sherlock Holmes, War Horse and The World's End, plus television roles including Terry in Ray Donovan and Mr Norrell in the BBC's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

Eddie became a Patron of the Sebbie Hall Kindness Foundation after being inspired by Sebbie's determination to give everyone an equal chance to communicate. He says he's energised by his family and friends — and by the small kind interactions of everyday life, like "smiling at someone across the road."

“I find Sebbie's acts of kindness to be so inspiring and I'm honoured to be a patron for this charity. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said, "Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." Thank you, Sebbie.”
