William Wilberforce played by
Ioan Gruffudd
Meet William Wilberforce
Harriet Beecher Stowe praised him in the pages of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Novelist E. M. Forester
compared him to Gandhi. Abraham Lincoln invoked his memory in a celebrated speech. In the
houses of Parliament, Nelson Mandela recalled his tireless labors on behalf of the sons and
daughters of Africa, calling Britain "the land of William Wilberforce-who dared to stand up to
demand that the slaves in our country should be freed." The cat in residence at 10 Downing
Street between 1973 and 1987 quickly earned a "Wilberforce-ian" reputation for catching mice,
and as such was given the name Wilberforce and served under four prime ministers.
William Wilberforce (1759-1833) led the twenty-year fight to end the British slave trade, a
victory now regarded as He finally succeeded in March 1807 and continued to fight for abolition
until, days before his death in 1833, he saw the institution of slavery abolished throughout the
British colonies. Not limiting himself to just abolitionist work, he dedicated his life to what he
called his "two great objects:" abolishing slavery in the British Empire and what he called "the
reformation of manners [society]." To this end, he advocated for child labor laws, campaigned
for education of the blind and deaf, and founded organizations as diverse as the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and the National Gallery (of Art). "Good
causes," it has been said, "stuck to him like pins to a magnet."
- Wilberforce biographer and Amazing Grace lead historical consultant, Kevin Belmonte
About Ioan Gruffudd
Ioan Gruffudd will reprise his role as Mr Fantastic in The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver
Surfer, based on the Marvel Comic Superheroes, starring alongside Julian McMahon, Jessica
Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chilkis, following the success of the last year's blockbuster The
Fantastic Four.
Ioan began acting in his teens in his home town of Cardiff. He enrolled in the Royal Academy of
Dramatic Art in London and immediately began work upon graduation. He starred in the Welsh
language Academy® nominated romantic drama Soloman and Gaenor.
He first found fame in the title role of the award-winning television series Hornblower. Other
recent television successes include the popular miniseries The Forsyte Saga, with Damian Lewis
and Gina McKee; the lead role in the adaptation of Tony Parson's bestselling novel Man and
Boy, and the role of Pip in Tony Marchant's Great Expectations, starring alongside Charlotte
Rampling and Justine Waddell.
His film profile continued to rise with recent leading roles in 102 Dalmations, co-starring with
Glenn Close and Alice Evans and TV Set, starring with David Duchovny and Sigourney Weaver.
Olaudah Equiano played by
Youssou 'Dour
Meet Olaudah Equiano
A central figure in the abolitionist movement in Great Britain, Olaudah Equiano (c.1745-1797)
wrote an eyewitness account of his life as a slave and of his work in the anti-slavery movement:
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa the African.
Though born in what is now Nigeria, Equiano was kidnapped and sold into slavery in childhood
and taken as a slave to the New World. As a slave to a captain in the Royal Navy, and later to a
Quaker merchant, he eventually earned the price of his own freedom by careful trading and
saving.
Equiano, like Wilberforce, stood for more than just abolition. Equiano was an African, a slave, a
sailor, an Englishman, an abolitionist, a Christian, a writer. He used his many titles to show how
slavery brutalizes society as a whole.
He wrote: "Is not the slave trade entirely a war with the heart of man? Such a tendency has the
slave trade to debauch men's minds and harden them to every feeling of humanity! For I will not
suppose that the dealers in slaves are born worse than other men. it corrupts the milk of human
kindness and turns it into gall. Surely this traffic cannot be good, which spreads like a pestilence
and taints what it touches!"
About Youssou N'Dour
Grammy® Winner Youssou N'dour is one of Africa's music pioneers, who has put African music
on the world map over the past fifteen years.
Born in Senegal, his mother taught him the music and songs of the Wolof people, to whom his
family belongs. He began to perform with music and drama groups at an early age in his home
town in Daker, making his first public performance with a modern band in 1973. In 1975 he
joined the Star Band, the house band at Dakar's most popular night club. With them, he
experimented, melding Wolof music with western instruments, in a style called mbalax. In 1979
he formed his own band Etoile, revamping and renaming them Super Etoile de Dakar in 1982,
and continuing to introduce new elements to his music, with lyrics from Wolof mythology and
elements of contemporary life in Dakar.
In 1982 he released his first cassette for sale, and his popularity grew in Dakar as more cassettes
were recorded. His albums Immigres and Nelson Mandela provided him with an international
breakthrough and led to his collaboration with Peter Gabriel. Together they toured in 1987.
Youssou N'Dour now records for the world market, but holds onto his African roots by
continuing to live in Senegal with his family, recording music specifically for his African
audiences.
Amazing Grace marks Youssou's film debut and he also collaborated with David Arnold to
provide music for the film's soundtrack.
Barbara Spooner played by
Romola Garai
Meet Barbara Spooner
Barbara Spooner met William Wilberforce on April 15, 1797 when she was 20 and he was 38.
After only two weeks of courtship, they were married on May 30. The pair shared their lives for
36 years until Wilberforce's death in 1833 and produced six children. A great proponent of the
anti-slavery cause, Barbara supported Wilberforce throughout his fight to abolish slavery.
About Romola Garai
Romola Garai's first screen role was playing the young Judi Dench in the award-winning series
The Last of the Blond Bombshells, after being spotted by an agent in a school production.
Her first leading role was in the television adaptation Daniel Deronda, but she came gained
critical attention and a nomination for a British Independent Film Award® as Most Promising
Newcomer for her leading role in the film adaptation of Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle,
starring alongside Bill Nighy. Her role in Damien O'Donnell's Inside I'm Dancing led to
nominations for the London Critics Circle and British Film Awards®. In 2005 she was
nominated for an Australian Film Institute Award® for her performance in the title role in the
television mini-series Mary Bryant.
On London stage, Romola played the role of James Joyce's wife Lucia, for which she was
nominated for an Evening Standard Award® as Outstanding Newcomer.
Since completing Amazing Grace, she has filmed Joe Wright's adaptation of Ian McEwan's
Atonement, starring with Keira Knightley and co-star Benedict Cumberbatch and starred in
Kenneth Branagh's Japanese adaptation of As You Like It
John Newton played by
Albert Finney
Meet John Newton
The legacy of William Wilberforce is tied to his relationship with John Newton. John Newton,
an ex-slave trader turned minister and abolitionist, wrote the lyrics for the hymn Amazing Grace
and became Wilberforce's spiritual counselor. He set his young protégé on the path of service to
humanity. It was only after Wilberforce underwent what he later described as his "great change"
or embrace of Christianity, that he became a reformer. Newton knew this to be true, and
invoking the deliverance language of the Old Testament Book of Esther, told Wilberforce that it
was "for such a time as this" that he had been placed in a position as a powerful Member of
Parliament to secure the abolition of the slave trade. It was in the House of Commons, Newton
stated, that Wilberforce could best serve God.
About Albert Finney
Early success on the British stage led Albert Finney to film stardom, after his leading roles in
two very different films-Karel Reisz' working class drama Saturday Night and Sunday
Morning, and the period romp Tom Jones. The latter performance won him a Golden Globe
Award®, and nominations for the Academy® and BAFTA Awards®.
Since then he has been nominated three times for the Academy Award® for Best Actor-Murder
on the Orient Express, The Dresser and Under the Volcano, plus a nomination as Best
Supporting Actor for his performance in Erin Brockovich: Other Golden Globe wins were for
The Gathering Storm, for his portrayal of Winston Churchill, which also won him Emmy® and
BAFTA® Awards, and his leading role in Scrooge, he was nominated for Golden Globes for Big
Fish, Erin Brockovich, Under the Volcano, The Dresser and Shoot the Moon.
On television he took the lead roles in dramatist Dennis Potter's final two plays Karaoke and
Cold Lazarus.
Since completing filming on Amazing Grace, Albert Finney has worked with directors Ridley
Scott, in A Good Year, co-starring with Russell Crowe, and with Sidney Lumet in The White
Rose.
William Pitt the Younger played by
Benedict Cumberbatch
Meet William Pitt the Younger
Elected as Prime Minister at the age of 24, William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806) can be credited
with encouraging Wilberforce to lead the abolitionist movement through political means. In
addition to acting as his political ally, Pitt also maintained a close friendship with Wilberforce
throughout most of their careers. A brief rift in their friendship occurred in 1793 when France
declared war on England. At this point, Pitt fell under the abolitionist movement to focus on the
war. Wilberforce, however, disagreed and thought it beneficial to attempt peace with France. The
pair reconciled within a few months and remained friends until Pitt's death in 1806, just one year
before the slave trade was abolished.
About Benedict Cumberbatch
A relative newcomer to film, Benedict Cumberbatch quickly established his reputation on
television. For his portrayal of scientist Stephen Hawking in the television biopic Hawking he
was nominated for a BAFTA® and won the Golden Nymph Award at Montecarlo Television
Festival. He recently played a leading role in the television adaptation of William Golding's
novel To The Ends of the Earth. The son of two actors, Benedict studied drama at LAMDA.
Benedict recently completed work on Tom Vaughan's feature Starter For Ten, and Joe Wright's
feature adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel Atonement, starring alongside Keira Knightley, James
McAvoy and co-star Romola Garai.
Lord Fox played by
Michael Gambon
Meet Lord Fox
Lord Fox (1749-1806) was elected to the House of Commons in 1768 when he was only
nineteen. A noted anti-slavery campaigner, Fox collaborated with Wilberforce to lead the fight
against slavery. Unfortunately, Fox was taken ill after giving a passionate speech for abolition in
the House of Commons. He died three months later on September 14, 1806, shortly before the
slave trade in Britain was abolished. Like Pitt the Younger, he was unable to see his anti-slavery
efforts come to fruition.
About Michael Gambon
In a career spanning forty years, Michael Gambon has enjoyed success in film, theatre and
television. In the last three films of the Harry Potter series, he has reached a new audience, filling
the role of Dumbledore, beloved headmaster of Hogwart's School for Wizards.
In 1963, Gambon was invited by Laurence Olivier to be a member of the original Royal National
Theatre Company, alongside Maggie Smith and Nicol Williamson. He still regularly appears on
stage, receiving many critical accolades for his performances.
In 1965 he made his film debut in Olivier's Othello, and has since appeared in over one hundred
films, most recently in Matthew Vaughn's Layer Cake and The Good Shepherd, directed by
Robert de Niro with Angelina Jolie. Since completing work on Amazing Grace he has filmed
roles in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Good Night, directed by Jake
Paltrow, Celebration, directed by John Crowley, from a Harold Pinter screenplay, and The
Baker, directed by Gareth Lewis.
Thomas Clarkson played by
Rufus Sewell
Meet Thomas Clarkson
Thomas Clarkson was a man of deep conviction who devoted his life to battling the Atlantic
slave trade. In Amazing Grace, Clarkson and several others active in abolition come to visit
Wilberforce for the first time at Wilberforce's house in Wimbledon, in 1782. In the film,
Wilberforce hosts a dinner for his guests, but the meal is interrupted suddenly when Clarkson
hoists a heavy carpet bag onto the dining room table and take out several of the brutal devices
used on slaves. To Wilberforce's horror, Clarkson demonstrates their use, then concludes his
demonstration by offering a direct challenge to Wilberforce to take action against the evils of the
slave trade. In 1787, Thomas Clarkson, along with Josiah Wedgewood and members of the
Quaker Church, helped establish the Committee for Abolition of the African Slave Trade.
Clarkson then joined William Wilberforce in fighting to abolish slavery. Clarkson collected
testimony from men who had worked on slave ships, also to be used as evidence before
Parliament.
About Rufus Sewell
Rufus Sewell has successfully tackled a variety of roles in film, theatre and television. He came
to public attention starring in award-winning television adaptation of Middlemarch in 1994,
having studied at London Central School of Speech and Drama.
His London theatre debut, in Making It Better, gained him the Best Newcomer Award® at
Evening Standard Theatre Awards, and he was nominated for an Olivier Award® for his role in
Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. On Broadway, he made his debut in Brian Friel's Translations, and was
awarded the Broadway Theatre Award®. In 2006 he took a leading role in Tom Stoppard's latest
play Rock 'n Roll at the Royal Court Theatre.

naval career at the age of 13. He eventually became a captain in his early twenties in the West
Indies and was later named the Duke of Clarence in 1789. He supported slavery because it was
extremely profitable, and because he genuinely believed that British slaves were treated well. In
the film, while playing cards with Wilberforce, the Duke of Clarence requests that his African
coach driver be a substitute as a form of payment. William Henry ascended to the British throne,
becoming King in 1830.

engage in a twenty-year fight to end slavery in the British
colonies. They wage the first modern political campaign, using
petitions, boycotts, and mass meetings to take their message to
the country at large.
Amazing Grace will be in theaters on February 23, 2007.
