He next featured in 1988's Freedom Fighter (aka Wall of Tyranny), which was broadcast on ITV and starred Tony Danza as a man who helped those living in East Berlin cross the Berlin Wall. McTavish's first professional role, in 1986, was in episode two of Walt Disney's mini-series Return to Treasure Island. Career Įarly in his career, McTavish did theatre work with the repertory theatres of London's West End and at the Dundee Rep with colleagues that included Jimmy Logan and Robert Robertson. This degree course allowed him to perform in three Shakespeare plays per year while at school, and led to McTavish earning his Equity card after performing in a play by Samuel Beckett. He went on to attend Queen Mary University of London, earning a degree in English literature. During school, McTavish and a friend would write and perform comedy sketches, which led to his drama teacher asking him to step in to cover a role in Sheridan's The Rivals after the principal actor became ill.
His family left Glasgow when McTavish was a child, and throughout his adult life he has lived in places such as Canada, the United States, and England before settling in New Zealand. The family, especially his father, was politically active, and political discourse was common in their household. He is the son of Alec and Ellen McTavish.
