David Warrilow (28 December 1934 – 17 August 1995) was an English actor best known as one of the “finest interpreters of Samuel Beckett’s work".

Biography

Warrilow a étudié à l'Université de Reading avec James Knowlson, le biographe de Beckett. À Paris en 1967, Warrilow fonde une revue, Réalités, et rejoint la troupe du théâtre Mabou Mines en 1970. Trois ans après, il joue dans une adaptation théâtrale du Dépeupleur de Beckett, mise en scène par Lee Breuer.

À la demande de Warrilow, le dramaturge irlandais écrit Solo pour lui en 1979, impressionné par le bilinguisme de l'acteur. « En août 1977, écrit James Knowlson, l'acteur David Warrilow qui a remporté un triomphe dans l'adaptation new-yorkaise du Dépeupleur confie à Beckett son désir de jouer dans une pièce en solo qui serait écrite pour lui. Par retour de courrier, l'écrivain lui demande s'il peut lui préciser ce à quoi il pense. Warrilow répond : « Je voyais, l'image d'une homme debout sur une scène, éclairé par en haut. Il se tient dans une sorte de cône de lumière. On ne distingue pas son visage et il parle de la mort. » La lettre que lui envoie alors Beckett commence par ces mots : Ma naissance fut ma perte. »

Entre 1986 et 1995, Warrilow a joué au théâtre en France avec le metteur en scène Joël Jouanneau, interprétant les textes de Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard, Joseph Conrad, Robert Pinget, et Robert Walser.

Il a incarné le rôle de Garland Stanford dans le film, Barton Fink, réalisé par Joel Cohen (1991).

In 1941, Barton Fink's first Broadway play, Bare Ruined Choirs, has achieved critical and popular success. His agent informs him that Capitol Pictures in Hollywood has offered him a thousand dollars per week to write film scripts. Barton hesitates, worried that moving to California would separate him from "the common man", his focus as a writer. He accepts the offer, however, and checks into the Hotel Earle, a large and unusually deserted building. His room is sparse and draped in subdued colors; its only decoration is a small painting of a woman on the beach, arm raised to block the sun.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Jamie Conway (Michael J. Fox) works as a fact-checker for a major New York magazine, but because he spends his nights partying with his glib best friend (Kiefer Sutherland) and his frequent cocaine abuse, he's on the verge of getting fired by his boss, Clara Tillinghast (Frances Sternhagen). His wife Amanda, a fast-rising model (Phoebe Cates), just left him; he's still reeling from the death of his mother (Dianne Wiest) a year earlier; and he's obsessed with a tabloid story about a pregnant woman in a coma. The movie captures some of the glossy chaos and decadence of the New York nightlife during the 1980s and also its look at a man desperately trying to escape the pain in his life.
