    • Trivia
      In 1994, he was falsely accused of rape and spend three and a half months in custody. During his imprisonment, he was attacked by another prisoner with a makeshift knife, which severed an artery on his neck. He was acquitted over the claims in 1995.
    • Quotes
      What's amazing is that I'm recognised all over the world through Red Dwarf (1988). In New York City, I nipped into a store on Broadway and the owner pointed to the TV, and Red Dwarf was on! The show's enabled me to travel all over the world too, partly for fan club conventions. British fans are exceptional, but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours, just to meet me, then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star! Oh, and I got to snog William Shatner when he was a panelist on Space Cadets (1997), in which I was a team captain.
