Kevin Proctor, British Producer Behind Brian Epstein Biopic ‘Midas Man,’ Charged With Stalking Actress

EXCLUSIVE: Kevin Proctor, a British producer involved in making Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man, appeared in court today to face a charge of stalking an actress.

The 46-year-old was present at Tameside Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, where he was accused of “stalking involving serious alarm/distress.” The charge relates to his treatment of Nicola Holt, an actress and model who has appeared in series including Viewpoint and Hollyoaks.

Proctor was due to enter a plea, but applied for an adjournment on medical grounds. The court agreed to reschedule the plea hearing for May 30 at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates’ Court. 

Proctor, who spoke to confirm his name and address, has been remanded on conditional bail until the hearing. To prevent witness interference or the obstruction of justice, the producer cannot contact Holt or enter Bolton, a town in Greater Manchester. Deadline has contacted Proctor for comment.

As a producer, Proctor was most recently involved in Midas Man, the biopic about Epstein, the so-called “fifth Beatle.” The film stars The Queen’s Gambit breakout Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as Epstein, as well as featuring Emily Watson, Jay Leno, and Eddie Marsan. It was released in the U.S. in January on Olyn, the independent streaming service.

Proctor was cited as a producer throughout Midas Man’s development, but his credit was missing from the final feature. Variety reported on the film’s troubled path to the screen in January, including alleged tensions between Proctor and the film’s original director Jonas Akerlund. Proctor has left Studio Pow, which produced Midas Man. Deadline broke a number of stories about the Midas Man issues.

Proctor’s other credits include Cordelia, the psychological thriller starring Antonia Campbell-Hughes and Johnny Flynn; and Funny Cow, a story about a female comedian starring Maxine Peake, Paddy Considine, and Stephen Graham.

Proctor has several high-profile credits as a production manager and production secretary, according to IMDb. These include BBC series Sherlock and Luther, as well as the Apple TV+ drama Surface. He also worked as an assistant production coordinator on Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.
