David Hayman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Hayman (born 1950) is a Scottish film and television actor and director.

Hayman studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. He began his acting career at the Citizens' Theatre in the city, playing a variety of roles, including Hamlet, Figaro and Al Capone. He gained national prominence playing notorious Barlinnie Prison convict turned sculptor, Jimmy Boyle, in the film A Sense of Freedom. After this film he focussed on playing character roles rather than the lead. His long list of film credits include appearances supporting Pierce Brosnan in The Tailor of Panama, Bruce Willis in The Jackal and Kevin Spacey in Ordinary Decent Criminal.

Hayman is also well known for his television appearances, most notably as Chief Supt. Michael Walker in Lynda La Plante's long running Trial & Retribution sequence of crime thriller mini-series which recently finished shooting its 10th series. He has also had success in directing film and TV productions. Silent Scream is a return to a study of convicts in Barlinnie Prison, examining the life of convicted murderer Larry Winters. Later followed The Hawk, starring Helen Mirren as a woman who begins to suspect that her husband is a serial killer. More recently, The Near Room is a dark and disturbing film about child abuse and corruption set in Glasgow.

Hayman was awarded the City of Glasgow's gold medal in 1992, for outstanding services to the performing arts. In 2001 he founded the humanitarian charity Spirit Aid which is dedicated to children of the world whose lives have been devastated by war, genocide, poverty, abuse or lack of opportunity at home and abroad. Hayman is currently Head of Operations of the charity which undertakes humanitarian relief projects from Kosovo to Guinea-Bissau, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and South Africa.

Hayman is currently working on production of a biopic of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns.

REAL LIFE: HELPING MAKES HIS HEART SING
SCOTS ACTOR DAVID HAYMAN SET UP SPIRIT AID TO HELP FIGHT INJUSTICE IN THE WORLD AND HE LOVES BEING ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEREVER THE CHARITY IS NEEDED
Paul English

AS DCS Michael Walker, David Hayman plays a hard-nosed cop who spends his life devoted to the pursuit of good against evil In real life, the Glasgow actor has a similar fight on his hands. But it's not as simple as snaring a crook or caging a murderer in TV'sTrial and Retribution.

When he's not filming with the likes of Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon in new flick Where The Truth Lies, David and his Glasgow-based charity Spirit Aid are trying to turn around some of the world's more biting injustices.

From helping Glasgow kids beat the poverty trap to providing medical supplies to communities in the remote Afghan hills, the former steelworker refers to charity undertakings as his "job".

Acting is just something he does to put food on the table for his wife and three young boys.

Almost 12 months after the Boxing Day tsunami, David is sitting on the calm waters of the River Clyde, eating fish and chips on the Renfrew Ferry.

Spirit Aid have visited Sri Lanka three times since the day the waves rolled in.

Providing much-needed supplies to people living in appalling conditions, they've helped devastated communities sew the seeds of recovery.

Like the earthquake which caused the devastation, the impact of Spirit Aid can be felt thousands of miles from its humble hub in Glasgow city centre.
But even now, as he prepares to extend their mission into South Africa where he is filming a Warner Bros movie with Michael Gambon and Timothy Hutton,David remains humble about the impact of his project. Recalling his visit to Sri Lanka 10 weeks post-tsunami, he says: "At the end of the day, the work we do is like sticking a plaster over the wounds of the world.

"There's so much devastation out there it will take years.

"But to give them their dues, I think the main humanitarian organisations are getting their finger out now.

"I complained at the end of March that I didn't see a penny of the Disasters Emergency Committee money spent.

"I tried to raise the issue but got little joy. I have no idea what was happening, although I think they're starting to sort things out now."

When David and his team first arrived in Sri Lanka in March they were faced with people driven by nothing other than the urge to survive.

An in-house DVD, Children OfThe Tsunami, shows how their minibus was mobbed by desperate locals, pushing and jostling to get their hands on whatever supplies they could.The team were overcome by the demand, closed their doors and drove on, angst etched across their faces. David is not the only well- kent Scot to venture into the mud and mayhem of the disaster-hit region.

In July, River City actress Joyce Falconer who plays Roisin McIntyre in the BBC Scotland soap, joined forces with the charity to spend a month working with children in the stricken region.

And already she's planning a return. She says: "It was a life-changing experience for me.

"I'd never even been out of Europe before, let alone Sri Lanka, and I can safely say it was the most incredible month of my life.

"I'm keen to go back and once I know what the River City filming schedules are like I might try to get back out.

"Spirit Aid have established an orphanage in an area called Hikkaduwa in Sri Lanka and I'd like to get back out there sometime in 2006."

David adds: "Joyce thoroughly enjoyed it. She's now a beast unleashed and she'd go back at the drop of a hat.

"We drove down to Manchester Airport to pick them up when their flight came back in the summer,and they were like 'When can we go back, when can we go back...' They were there for a month working six days a week the whole time."

And Joyce gave the kids more than just hope for the future.

Smiling, David says: "There's a whole young generation of young people in Sri Lanka who go about saying 'Aaaayyye' with that beautiful thick Doric brogue she has. I think it'll be in their official language within a few years."

The two actors are well used to playing the publicity game necessary in their chosen careers. But these trips are anything but a PR exercise.

David says about the July trip: "The maternity hospital had nothing, so we've been equipping them with things.They asked for a kettle. Can you believe that? ? They had no hot water in a maternity hospital and babies were being born on the floor.

"This was July, seven months on. So we bought them a boiler and a kettle, equipped them with baby cots and baby mosquito nets.

"We've adopted an orphanage, we've initiated a farm, we're putting in chickens and cows and trying to establish crops.

"The level of malnutrition in the orphanages was really high. Now kids are eating the produce they planted, getting protein from their own milk, cheese and eggs and selling the surplus to generate revenue for the orphanage.

"We're initiating a carpentry workshop and a metal workshop to train the kids in animal husbandry, gardening, farming, metalwork and carpentry.

"The local jeweller, the father of our interpreter, has also guaranteed to take every single graduate of that orphanage and train them as jewellery-makers if they don't want to be farmers or gardeners or carpenters.We have made an amazing difference in such a short space of time with very little money."

Spirit Aid have also made significant inroads in Afghanistan.

David says: "We run a mobile health clinic in the Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan covering an area of a million people with no medical services whatsoever. Since April alone, our mobile clinic has examined and treated 24,000 people in isolated villages. I'm really proud of that."

Back home,David continues the fundraising drive. Last week Glasgow bar Oran Mor staged a charity gig with Alabama 3 and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
A drive is in place to have Glasgow bars raise £2250 for a fishing boat to be built and named after them in Sri Lanka.

A Glasgow gig is also planned for Boxing Day to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the tragedy.

Several years back, David tried to stage a Live-Aid style gig at Hampden Park to kick-start Spirit Aid.The project proved too ambitious for a fledgling outfit and failed to come to fruition.

The actor confesses to frustrations with some high profile Scottish rock stars for failing to help him in the past.

And he sees this year's Live 8 as a missed opportunity to raise more money.

"Bob Geldof has been brilliant," he says. "But I think he sidles up to Blair and Bush and Brown a bit too much.

"You have to keep a distance between yourself and politicians because they're a law unto themselves.

"I think hewas getting too comfortable with them.You have to stay impartial in order to be critical."

David's influence isn't as life-reaching as Sir Bob's yet.

His teenage sons and their pals joke about their dad "saving the world" again, yet they too have visited Sri Lanka.

"They went away as boys and came back as men," says David, laughing.

"We've been punching above our weight for three years. And we do work in Scotland too.

"I have three sons, and I look at them and wonder what sort of world they're going to inherit.We're destroying the planet that provides us with sustenance and we're blowing the hell out of each other at the drop of a hat.

"The gap between rich and poor is getting greater in this country.

"If you've got two in every five kids living below the official poverty line then what the hell are we doing?

"There was a report the other week that said 50 per cent of households in Scotland are on less than £10,000 a year. These are appalling figures, and it's things like this that made me start up Spirit Aid.

"I'm not a celebrity, I'm just an actor who keeps his head down.

"But I want to use that gift the best I can to get on with the other stuff I want to do - the stuff that makes my heart sing

David Hayman interview
Published: Wednesday, 9 January 2008, 2:51PM
David Hayman plays one of the toughest characters on TV. Believe it or not he’s tried to soften DCS Walker in recent years. But even Scottish detectives cry – sometimes.

Walker has been in the drama for 10 years. How has he changed?
It’s been great to see how Walker has evolved. He has become an anti-hero of sorts. He was very tough in the beginning, and perhaps more two-dimensional than he is now. I decided to shave my head, put a scar through my eye, and make him a tough-talking little bastard, who doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

He has got slightly nicer hasn’t he?
Over the years, through working with Lynda, we have warmed him up a little bit. There is more of a human being there and the viewers are seeing more of his private life now, the trauma and the tragedy that he is going through, particularly with his son, his estranged wife and his daughter.

But his personal life is still a mess, isn't it?
Yes, he can never get his personal life together. I think they know he’s a tough cop, but that he’s a good cop. People do have a respect for him. He does empathise and sympathise with victims and sometimes, depending on the circumstance, even with the perpetrators.

And he still has his moments…
His modus operandi was always "get the criminals off the street, lock them up and throw away the key". If it’s possible, he has become even more cynical, even more disillusioned. No matter how well he does his job, and the team do their job, there are still more bad guys out there.

Over the last 10 years, which guest actor has stood out?
Rhys Ifans in the very first one. He delivered the most extraordinarily nuanced performance and had audiences guessing right up until the credits rolled. People still ask me if he actually did it. He was a wonderful, mercurial mixture of ‘is he innocent, or is he a real psychopath?’ and we never really, truly found out.

And Richard E Grant also appeared in one memorable episode
He was superb, despite being cast completely against type as a psychopath. It was a really clever performance. No-one would think of casting Richard in that role, but he pulled it off superbly and it was really very plausible.
Most recently we had Chrissy Rock, who came in to play a small part in the last series. She was the mother of one our victims in Closure and just completely blew me away.

It was quite emotional for you, wasn’t it?
In one of the scenes I had with her, I ended up with real tears running down my face. It was nothing to do with the quality of my acting I hasten to add, it was literally to do with the fact that I was so moved by what she was doing that I couldn’t hold the tears back.

Is there any one episode which you have particularly enjoyed?
I loved Blue Eiderdown: the way it was lit and the way it was shot as though on hand-held. It brought a wonderful immediacy to it. That was the one that was set in the upmarket sex club, and I end up having an affair with the murderess. God, Walker really gets it wrong in that one, but at least he gets his end away. That was the last time he got some nookie which is a bit embarrassing. He does lead a sad, lonely life.

At the start of 2007, the team went from producing one Trial and Retribution film a year to becoming a fully fledged series. Do you get recognised more now?
Yes, I am being recognised more than before. But I don’t mind at all. I travel on public transport so I am easily accessible and I am continually amazed at the amount of affection with which the public hold Walker.

Many male viewers must envy the fact that you work alongside Victoria Smurfit...
Yes, and in fact I gave her her first job. I was directing a series called A Woman’s Guide to Adultery. But I needed a background artist to re-create the French student riots of the late 1960s. I went to audition people for the part and in walked Victoria, with a mane of red Irish curls cascading down her shoulders looking magnificent. I keep trying to persuade her to get back her red Irish curls for Trial and Retribution but she’s not having any of it.”
She is the most self-effacing human being I have ever met in my life. I would go to hell and back for that lassie.

David Hayman backs Sandra White for Kelvin
snp - 2007-04-17

David Hayman winner of the City of Glasgow's Gold Medal for his outstanding services to the performing arts has put his weight behind Sandra White the SNP candidate for Glasgow Kelvin. Sandra's election headquarters in the heart of Hillhead were officially opened by David on Saturday as Sandra took another step towards winning Kelvin.

David is one of  Scotlands best known actors and directors having appeared on the big screen in more than 40 movies. He is also the founder of "Spirit Aid", the charity set up in 2001 which is dedicated to the children of the world whose lives have been devastated by war, genocide, poverty and abuse. It exists to give them opportunities at home and abroad that they otherwise wouldn't have had.

Mr. Hayman said:

"I have long been an admirer of Sandra's work. She is tireless in pursuing the inequalities and wrongs in our society.

"On local issues such as housing, council tax and crime to the wider humanitarian issues of child poverty and weapons of mass destruction, you couldn't have found a harder working MSP.

"It's time for Kelvin to elect Sandra and its time for Scotland to take its place again in the world community of nations."

A delighted Sandra added:

"It's great to have someone of the stature of David backing us to win Kelvin. David is an amazing actor and a great humanitarian"

"Like him, a huge part of my life has been devoted to helping tackle poverty. The lack of opportunity here in Glasgow is a national scandal and if re-elected, I will continue my work in helping to build communities that work together for the benefit of everyone.

"Every child should have the right to the same opportunities as every other and the fact that Glasgow has some of the most deprived areas in Europe while oil sits off our shore is perhaps not the dividend some would have us believe."

"I know Kelvin like the back of my hand and there is no doubt that it hasn't had the representation it deserves"

"It's time for a forward looking, confident Scotland and on May 3rd we have a chance to start that process"
