Welcome to this site dedicated to the work of actor Gareth Thomas

Over a career that spanned six decades, Gareth Thomas played an extraordinary array of roles on stage and screen as well as in a wealth of audio recordings.

This archive is being built as a tribute and to provide a lasting and publicly-accessible record of Gareth’s work.

If reposting material from this website, please include a link back to it, and an appropriate credit.

On February 12th 2024 (Gareth’s birthday), this site is one year old. Diane Gies has very kindly provided the following recording of the delightful message that Gareth made for her in 2007 to celebrate the first anniversary of the Horizon website. We trust he wouldn’t mind it appearing again here to commemorate the first anniversary of this site created in his memory and to celebrate his career.
