Tim McInnerny (born September 18, 1956) is an English actor. "McInnerny" is stressed on the penultimate syllable (IPA Template:IPA).
He was brought up in Cheadle Hulme in Cheshire and Stroud, Gloucestershire, and educated at Marling School, Stroud, and Wadham College, Oxford.
He is best known for his roles in Blackadder as Lord Percy (series one and two) and Captain Darling (series four). He decided not to reprise his role as Percy in series three due to a fear of being typecast, although he did appear in a guest role as a similar, foppish character in a single episode of the series.
He has also worked as a dramatic actor, appearing on stage in the original production of Pravda with Anthony Hopkins, and on television in Edge of Darkness (1985) where he played a nervous and embittered anarchist. He has starred in Notting Hill (1999) as Max, as well as The Emperor's New Clothes (2002), 102 Dalmatians (2000), FairyTale: A True Story (1997) and Wetherby (1985).
In 1989 he co-starred with Kate Bush in the music video for her song "This Woman's Work".
In 2004, he joined the cast of the BBC/Kudos spy drama Spooks for its third season, playing Oliver Mace, a semi-regular character.
