The Hon. Nicholas Haden-Guest (born May 5, 1951),[1] known as Nicholas Guest is an American actor who has appeared in various movie and television roles, including that of Headmaster Patrick James Elliot in the teen sitcom USA High. Since 2000, he has primarily worked as a voice actor.
Personal life[]
Nicholas Guest was born in New York City, the son of Peter Haden-Guest, a British United Nations diplomat who later became the 4th Baron Haden-Guest, and his second wife, Jean Pauline Hindes, a former vice president of casting at CBS.[2] Guest's maternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Russia. His paternal grandfather, Leslie, Baron Haden-Guest, was a Labour Party politician who was a convert to Judaism, and his paternal grandmother's father was Colonel Albert Goldsmid, a British officer who founded the Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade and the Maccabaeans.[2][3][4] Both of Guest's parents had become atheists, and Guest had no religious upbringing.[4] More than a decade before he was born, his uncle David Guest, a lecturer and Communist Party member, was killed in the Spanish Civil War fighting in the International Brigades.
Nicholas Guest spent parts of his childhood in the United Kingdom. He is the brother of actor Christopher Guest, the brother-in-law of actress Jamie Lee Curtis and the half brother of the British-American writer Anthony Haden-Guest.
Guest married, firstly, with Jill Ellen Demby on May 11, 1980, but they divorced in 1989. With Demby he had his first daughter, Julia Demby Haden-Guest (born on September 23, 1988).[5] On November 26, 1989, he married secondly to Pamela Ann Guest (née Seamon), an actress and casting director,[6] with whom he had his second daughter, Elizabeth Ann Haden-Guest (born on May 30, 1990), also an actress.[7]
Family title[]
Guest is heir presumptive to the title of Baron Haden-Guest in the British peerage. This is because the children of his brother Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis (Lord and Lady Haden-Guest), Annie Guest and Ruby Guest, are adopted and therefore ineligible to succeed to the title. Were he to succeed to the barony, he would be the 6th Baron Haden-Guest. As the child of a baron, he is styled "The Honourable Nicholas Guest".
