John Lithgow wins best actor at UK Olivier Awards
American actor won for portrayal of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory author in Giant, a play that confronts Dahl’s antisemitic views.
American actor John Lithgow won the best actor trophy at the London stage Olivier Awards on Sunday for exploring the dark side of children’s writer Roald Dahl in Giant.

Backwards-biographical story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was named best new musical at the awards, Britain’s equivalent of Broadway’s Tony Awards.
Conclave star Lithgow added the Olivier to an awards shelf that already includes multiple Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe trophies, for depicting the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Mark Rosenblatt’s play, which confronts Dahl’s antisemitic views.
“I think I’m going to faint,” said an emotional Lithgow, 79. He said he wanted to assure Britons that the transatlantic “special relationship is still firmly intact.”
“It’s not always easy to welcome an American into your midst, and at this particular moment, it’s probably a little more complicated than usual,” he said.
