Trivia

• He has one child from his first marriage to actress Jane Wenham. Finney's son, Simon, works in the film business as a technician.
• Only person in history to ever call Audrey Hepburn "bitch" (in "Two for the Road"), even if it was just his line.
• Allegedly declined an Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) honour in 1980, and 20 years later also a Knighthood.
• He was awarded the Laurence Olivier Theatre Award in 1987 (1986 season) for Best Actor in a New Play for Orphans.
• He was awarded the 1986 London Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Actor for his performance in Orphans.
• Graduated from RADA.
• An Associate Member of RADA.
• A member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in Stratford Upon Avon, England, where he performed for three seasons in the early eighties.
• Doesn't have an agent nor a manager
• Felt the lead role in Tom Jones (1963) wasn't serious enough, and agreed to star only if he got a producing credit; he later traded the credit for profit participation. He later earned an Oscar nomination for this role.
• As an aspiring actor in the mid-1950s, he made the rounds with Michael Polley, the father of Sarah Polley. Michael Polley says that Finney compared actors to bricklayers, in terms of craft.
• Was the first choice of Laurence Olivier to take over his post as the head of Britain's National Theatre. Finney had played a season shortly after the National Theatre's inaugural season in 1963-64. Finney declined the offer.
• Was twice nominated for Broadway's Tony Award as Best Actor (Dramatic): in 1964 for playing the title character of Martin Luther in John Osborne's "Luther," and in 1968 for Peter Nichols' "A Day in the Death of Joe Egg."
• Played Michael Medwin's uncle in Scrooge (1970) even though he is actually more than twelve years younger than him.
• Originally chosen for the title role in Lawrence of Arabia (1962) after a screen test shot over four days at a cost of £100,000. He later baulked at the film's monumental shooting schedule, and did not want to commit to such a long term contract and opted to play the title role in Tom Jones (1963), which gave him his first Oscar nomination.
• Was initially asked to reprise his role as Hercule Poirot in Death on the Nile (1978). However, he had found the make-up he had to wear for the first movie _Murder On The Orient Express_ (1974) very uncomfortable in the hot interior of the train, and on realizing that he would have to undergo the same experience, this time in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit, he declined the role.
• The third choice for Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express (1974). Before him were Alec Guinness & 'Paul Scofield' . Ironically, Agatha Christie felt Finney's performance came closest to her idea of Poirot.
• In 1965 he formed Memorial Films in association with Michael Medwin to produce theatrical feature, which included Charlie Bubble, If, Gumshoe, Bleak Moments, O Lucky Man and Disorder.
• Appears, uncredited, in drag as "The Matron" in the ladies' bathroom scene in "Miller's Crossing."
