A TOP Scottish actor will lift the lid of the secrets of his showbiz career in an intimate show in Greenock later this month.

James Cosmo will appear on stage at the Beacon Arts Centre on April 24.

The Braveheart star will tell stories from his 60 years in showbusiness, from his beginnings in Clydebank to starring alongside Mel Gibson on the big screen.

The Greenock show is one of just four dates on the ‘An Evening With James Cosmo’ tour - with the actor also due to visit Perth, Glasgow and Ayr.

Members of the audience will have the chance to put their own questions to Cosmo on the night, with VIP meet-and-greet tickets also available.

“It is sure to be a fascinating evening and audiences are encouraged to book early to avoid missing out.”
