}}Michael John Whitehall (born 12 April 1940) is a British producer, talent agent, television personality and author. He is a former theatrical agent who went on to form two production companies, Havahall Pictures (with Nigel Havers) in 1988, and Whitehall Films in 1998. He has represented Colin Firth and Dame Judi Dench.[1] He is the father of comedian Jack Whitehall.[2]

Early life and education

Whitehall was educated at Ampleforth College, a Catholic boarding school in Yorkshire, run by Benedictine monks. After his education, Whitehall worked as a film reporter for The Universe, a Catholic newspaper.[3]

Career

Whitehall has produced TV programmes such as Bertie and Elizabeth, Noah's Ark, Element of Doubt, The Good Guys and A Perfect Hero. He represented Judi Dench,{{citation needed|date=September 2017}} Colin Firth,{{citation needed |date=September 2017}} and Leslie Grantham.[4]

He has made guest appearances on various television shows including Countdown, John Bishop's Britain, The Million Pound Drop Live, Alexander Armstrong's Big Ask and Chatty Man. In 2013, it was announced that he and Jack would present a TV chat show for the BBC. The first series of Backchat began airing on BBC Three, starting on 20 November 2013 but has since moved to BBC Two.[5] In 2017, he co-presented Travels with My Father, a travel documentary / road trip through Southeast Asia with his son Jack on Netflix. [6] In 2018, Travels had a second season where they visited several countries in Eastern Europe.

Whitehall's first book was Shark Infested Waters: Tales of an Actors' Agent, and his son Jack illustrated it.[7] The Times Literary Supplement (TLS) called the book "a most entertaining memoir" that was "wittily illustrated".[7] In October 2013, he released his second book Him & Me, which was co-written with his son. Written in two distinctive styles, it reflects the different personalities of its authors.[8]

Personal life

Whitehall lives with his wife Hilary in the London borough of Putney. He has three children: Jack Peter Benedict (born 1988), Molly Louisa (born 1989), and Barnaby William (born 1992).
