In the 2013 film About Time, Cordery played Uncle D, the "sweet but mentally-challenged" uncle of the protagonist Tim.[3]
Theatre
Much of Cordery's acting career has been in theatre. His body of work includes many Shakespeare performances, such as the tragedy Romeo and Juliet (1997),[4] the trilogy Henry VI (2000), the drama Richard III (2001), the tragedy Macbeth (2004), and the comedy The Winter's Tale.[5] In 2002, Cordery played Menenius in a Swan Theatre adaptation of the Shakespeare play Coriolanus.[6] Later that year, he appeared as Falstaff in another Shakespeare play, The Merry Wives of Windsor.[7] Cordery portrayed the steward Malvolio in a 2005 production of Twelfth Night at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.[8]
In 2008, he played Russell Blackborough in the play Waste at the Almeida Theater[9] and the following year he appeared in the musical Spring Awakening at the Lyric Theatre.[10] Cordery appeared as Canon Chasuble in a 2011 production of The Importance of Being Earnest at the Rose Theatre, Kingston. The Daily Telegraph praised the actor for giving a "performance of comic bliss as the amorous and sententious Canon Chasuble, baffled by each new turn of events while supporting his prodigious bulk on a surprisingly nifty pair of pins."[11]
Personal life
Cordery is a former teacher who once taught in an inner-London secondary school.[12]
