Date of birth: February 27, 1957

Rafe Spall inherited his passion for acting from his father. Actually, it was Timothy, who made the surname “Spall” famous all over the world. He gained popularity due to such roles as Winston Churchill in “The King’s Speech”, Wormtail in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” and many others.

Timothy was born in the family of a hairdresser (mother) and a postal worker (father). He spent his early years in Battersea, London, England. He started his career as a theater actor, and then moved his way on TV and appeared in the series “Play for Today”.

In the 1990s he acted in the movies and TV shows, directed by the most prominent entertainers of that time. He collaborated with Clint Eastwood on the drama film “White Hunter Black Heart” and with Edward Zwick on “The Last Samurai”.

The man with an enviable career, Timothy is proud of some other thing he managed to build in his life – his friendly family.

Rafe Spall never gets tired to tell, how closely-knitted he is with his dad, and how happy he is to hear that “Rafe is a son of a talented actor”, although now his screen works have become even more successful.

Man in Black: International actor was about 14 when his father was diagnosed with leukemia, and that event became the first tragedy he had to deal with. Timothy managed to survive and remained the strongest influencer and the most powerful hero in Rafe Spall’s life.

Rafe adores both of his parents, and deep love can be heard in his voice, while he is speaking about them. Obviously, Shane helped her son Rafe not just discover and develop his talent of an entertainer but also taught him to be a good person. She told her son and daughters, that being kind is the main task of any person, and career success shouldn’t be the priority.

Shane was born in Midlands. She came from a big family, and since the earliest years, she was very hard-working and independent.

Having reached her teens, Shane moved to Birmingham and found a job at a Quaker hotel there. In that hotel, she met a film star Timothy Spall, and he lost his head from her. In December, 1981 they wedded, and soon became parents of three beautiful kids.

Shane quit her job and devoted all her free time to her husband and their children. When her daughters and son Rafe grew up, she started to work again. The woman co-authored a number of books with her husband. She tried her hand as an actress, too. Shane appeared in the documentary series “All At Sea”, in which her husband, daughters and she made a trip around Britain’s coast. The same topic was reflected in her books.

Date of birth: 1980

Pascale is the oldest kid in the Spall family. The girl has an exotic name, which is usually shortened to Pas in a family circle. By the way, she was named Janet during the major part of her youth.

The girl was born in south London, and she shared her time between her parents’ home and the cozy residence of her aunt, who actually taught the girl to knit. That was her special hobby, which later turned into the source of her wealth – in 2010 she opened a textile shop in Forest Hill, which quickly turned into the city gem.

Unlike her favorite younger brother Rafe, Pas has never thought about becoming an actress. But she turned into some kind of a celebrity in the area of textile design.

She works from morning till night and still finds the time for her partner Cyrus James Colquitt and their 5 kids.
