NAVEEN ANDREWS
Name: Naveen William Sidney Andrews
Born: 17 January 1969 London, England
Naveen William Sidney Andrews (born January 17, 1969) is an Emmy- and Golden
Globe-nominated British Indian actor. He is known for his roles in The English
Patient (1996), Grindhouse (2007) and the television series Lost.
Andrews was born in London, England to Nirmala, a psychologist, and Stanley
Andrews, a businessman, both immigrants from Kerala, India. He was raised
in Wandsworth, South London (beside the River Thames) and had what he has
described as a "very repressive" upbringing. Andrews was raised in the Methodist
denomination. At the age of 16, whilst at Emanuel School, he fell in love
with his mathematics teacher, Geraldine Feakins with whom he had a son, Jaisal,
born in 1992. Andrews was quoted in an interview later on saying that "[his]
father would call [him] a prostitute" about being famous at his school "for
going out with a maths teacher".
Andrews went on and auditioned for drama school. He was accepted at London's
Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Ewan McGregor and David Thewlis. His
studies paid off when he won a role in Hanif Kureshi's film, London Kills Me (1991).
He is best known for his role as Kip in The English Patient (1996) and as Sayid
in the popular television series Lost (2004). In 2006, he was voted one of
People magazine's World's Most Beautiful People.
