January 27, 1965 in Perthshin (Scotland) in a small family of foresters was born Alan Cumming (Alan Cumming). Alan's mother, Maria, was an insurance agent. In the family, in addition to Alan, there is a younger son and a dog. Because of his father’s work, the family often moved from place to place. They had to live in forest houses far from civilization. Alan's childhood was not carefree, as the father often quarreled with his mother and beat his children. Apart from his brother and dog, Alan had no friends, so it’s no wonder he wanted to become a veterinarian as a child. But Alan Cumming graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, after which he played a lot on the stages of theaters in Scotland and took part in productions on television.
In 1998, Alan was nominated for the Tony Theatre Award for Best Actor of the Musical Cabaret. This event brought the actor world fame, which best influenced his career. After the award, Cumming starred in pictures
"With eyes wide closed" and "Sex and the City." Then Alan played in “Spy Kids”, in “Circle of Friends”, in “X-2 People”, and “Garfield” and many other projects.
In addition to working in theater and film, Cumming tried himself as a writer. In 2003, his book “Tony’s Magic Tale” was published.
The plot of the book is based on real events that ever happened to the author. Alan, as a versatile person, was not satisfied with this. In 2004, the perfume line for men “Cumming the fragrance” was launched. Cumming added his name to the list of famous people in the perfume industry.
He is also engaged in charity, financially supporting the AIDS movement.
The actor was previously married to Hillary Lyon. However, their marriage was fragile and they divorced in 1993. In 2007, Alan married same-sex illustrator Grant Schafer. In November 2008, Cumming was granted American citizenship while retaining British citizenship. /
