Early life


Anthony was born on 26 September 1963 in Marylebone, London,[1] the only child[2] of actor Michael Adam Anthony (né Chodzko), an actor from Jersey, and actress Bernadette Milnes. The couple later divorced. Anthony's French-born paternal grandfather, Alexander Victor Chodzko, was a mariner and journalist of Polish descent.[3][4][5]
