Actor Michael Sheen has recorded a video supporting the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts's Big Give Christmas Challenge, which takes place December 5 to 7 and allows supporters to potentially double their online donations.

Sheen, who trained at the institute, said 'People are not aware necessarily that RADA is a charity… It wants to help support as many people from as many diverse backgrounds as it possibly can'. Other actors who have trained at the famous drama school include Ben Whishaw, Mark Rylance and Gemma Arterton.
