Richard Armitage - I Love you

Richard Crispin Armitage was born on Sunday 22nd August 1971, in Leicester, UK, to Margaret and John Armitage. Richard is the younger of their two boys. The family grew up in a normal house, in a normal village. The difference between Richard and any other 14 year old boy is that he managed to persuade his parents to send him to Pattison’s Dancing Academy, now known as Pattison College. Pattison’s, an independent school which specialised in performing arts, was the start of Richard’s training for his career as an actor. His interest in acting was born here. He has been quoted as saying that it was while he was at Pattison’s, during a school theatre trip, that he first realised that maybe this was the direction in which he wanted to take his life.
