BOB
GUNTON

Bob Gunton is an American actor with a career spanning Broadway, film and television. Before many viewers encountered him on screen, he was already building a substantial body of stage work.

On Broadway, he played Juan Perón in Evita and later took the title role in the 1989 revival of Sweeney Todd. Both productions brought him Tony Award nominations.

In The Shawshank Redemption, Gunton plays Warden Samuel Norton, the prison official whose power shapes much of Andy Dufresne’s life behind bars. His controlled performance gives the warden an outward respectability that contrasts with his actions.

His television work includes Ethan Kanin in the political thriller 24, another role situated close to institutional power.
