RTS Scotland Awards 2023

Cumming received the RTS Scotland Special Award 2023 in recognition of his achievements across a long and varied career, which has taken in beloved Scottish shows Take the High Road and The High Life, award-winning US series The Good Wife and, currently, Apple TV+’s musical comedy Schmigadoon!.

“I owe my whole career to Scotland. I made my first film here when I was 20. I got my first of many roles on Scottish Television when I was 21 and my first film was a Scottish co-production with a Scottish writer/director,” he said.
