Ian Reddington was born in Sheffield. He was educated at Frecheville Comprehensive. He had no formal drama training at school but became a leading figure in the Meatwhistle youth theatre project run by youth workers in the city. This gave him his first appearance as the Herald in Peter Weisss MaratSade at the Sheffield Crucible in 1973 directed by Glen Walford. He also played percussion and sang backing vocals in protopunk outfit Musical Vomit alongside Glenn Gregory, who later went on to become lead singer with Heaven 17. Reddington then went on to study Drama at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London , at the time one of their youngest ever entrants. There he won The William Poel Prize and The Arthur Talbot Smith Award.
