EXCLUSIVE: Kevin Proctor, a British producer involved in making the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man, has pleaded not guilty to stalking an actress.
The 46-year-old appeared at Wigan & Leigh Magistrates’ Court in the north of England last Friday, where he faced a charge of “stalking involving serious alarm/distress.”
The charge relates to his alleged treatment of Nicola Holt, an actress and model who has appeared in series including Viewpoint and Hollyoaks. A trial has been set for November 27 at Manchester Magistrates’ Court.
Proctor has been released on conditional bail until the trial. 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.
Proctor has several high-profile credits in behind-the-scenes roles, including working as an assistant production coordinator on Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi. Other credits include BBC series Sherlock and Luther, as well as the Apple TV+ drama Surface, per IMDB.
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 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. Deadline broke a number of stories about Midas Man‘s troubled path to the screen.
Proctor’s other credits include Cordelia, a 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.
