Ray Winstone Net Worth

At welterweight, he was London schoolboy champion on three occasions, fighting twice for England. Winstone went on to enroll at the Corona Stage Academy in Hammersmith and landed his first major role in What a Crazy World at the Theatre Royal, Stratford, London, but he danced and sang badly. One of his first TV appearances came in the 1976 Loving Arms episode of the popular police series The Sweeney. Soon, thanks to his compelling performance in Scum, Winstone was hailed as the next big thing. By his own admission, throughout the ’80s, Winstone took on some poorly conceived roles and delivered uninspired performances. By the time he starred in Tank Malling (1989), Winstone had declared bankruptcy and given up on acting. In 1990, Winstone was coaxed out of his brief retirement by playwright Kathy Burke, who cast him in the title role of her play Mr. Thomas, a part that earned him wide critical acclaim and restored his confidence-he was back in the saddle. His most recent works include appearances in Moonfleet (2014 – miniseries), Noah (2014), The Gunman (2014), being cast in the 2015 film Point Break and starring in the British independent film The Hot Potato.
