Tim McInnerny (pronounced /ˌmækɨˈnɝːni/, with stress on the first and penultimate syllables; born 18 September 1956) is an English actor. He is known for his role as Percy in the first two series of the historical sitcom Blackadder, and as Captain Darling in its fourth series; he did not reprise his role as Percy in series three due to a fear of being typecast. A guest appearance in series three, however, makes him the only person other than Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson to appear in all four series of Blackadder and also appearing in the one-off special Blackadder: Back & Forth. McInnerny was born in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, Cheshire, the son of Mary Joan (née Gibbings) and William Ronald McInnerny. He was brought up in Cheadle Hulme, and Stroud, Gloucestershire, and educated at Marling School, Stroud, and Wadham College, Oxford.
