Freddie Pyne was involved with BECS from day one. As Equity President at the time BECS was set up, he has fought hard to help ensure performers get their just dues via national or international agreements.
As a performer he worked many years in repertory companies and for four years at the National Theatre under Laurence Olivier’s stewardship. He has also worked in several television shows over the years with the most notable being The Three Princes, Talking to a Stranger, Justice and Emmerdale Farm (a 17 years’ run on the latter).
