  • Trivia
    After six years in the Merchant Navy, he jumped ship in New Zealand and worked in a car plant for a year. He was eventually caught and spent three months in military detention, before being repatriated back to Britain. There, he took a course in design at the BBC, while making money doing various jobs, ranging from stage hand to butcher, hairdresser to door-to-door salesman.
  • Quotes
    My job is entertainment. I'm not there to get across any great messages. I don't want to be Prime Minister; I just want to be an actor, make people laugh, make people cry and say other people's lines. And if I believe in the lines, then I'm going to do the show to the best of my ability.
