Date of Birth

Trivia

Frequently cast by Kenneth Branagh in his movies.

Became gravely ill with meningitis during the filming of the final series of "Wycliffe" (1994). He says he owes his life to Jack Shepherd with whom he was sharing a house while on location, and who rushed him to hospital in the middle of the night. When the production company sacked Yuill "for insurance reasons" as a result of the meningitis, and refused to reinstate him even though he made a full recovery, the rest of the cast and crew felt so betrayed that they decided not to make any more episodes once filming of the current series had finished.
