Born:
October 11, 1943
in
St Austell, Cornwall
Best Known For:
Playing Jim Bergerac.
Early-life:
John Vivian Drummond Nettles was born on October 11, 1943, in St Austell, Cornwall. He was adopted at birth by a carpenter and his wife, who was a cleaner. John later discovered his biological mother was an unmarried Irish nurse who died of tuberculosis at the age of 28. Despite these humble beginnings, he won a scholarship to study philosophy and history at Southampton University. He trained to be a teacher, but drifted into acting after appearing in a touring version of the play Camus during his time at university.
Career:
While appearing in amateur drama productions, Nettles was spotted by an agent who arranged work for him at the Royal Court Theatre. He made his debut as a standard bearer in Macbeth, opening doors for Alec Guinness. His first movie was The Red, White and Black in 1970. His big break came in 1972's A World At War, followed by a four-year stint in The Liver Birds. Nettles became a household name thanks to Bergerac, which ran for 10 years until 1991. TV projects since include Romeo And Juliet, The Hound of the Baskervilles and Midsomer Murders. He has also provided the narration for such programmes as Airport and The Hunt.
Quote:
'I live in the tranquility and splendour which befits someone of my seniority.'
Trivia:
Nettles received an OBE in 2010.

Early-life:
Bill Ward was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1967. He studied history at Bristol University. His early acting credits include small roles in Jonathan Creek, Footballers' Wives, EastEnders and Holby City.
Career:
Ward's big break came in 2003 when he was cast as builder Charlie Stubbs in Coronation Street, a role he played until January 2007. He went on to make guest appearances in Cold Blood, Midsomer Murders, Heartbeat, The Bill, Robin Hood, Casualty and Silent Witness, before returning to the world of soaps in 2013 when he began playing James Barton in Emmerdale. He has also performed in West End musicals Spamalot, The Lion King and Million Dollar Quartet.
Quote:
'Occasionally viewers still mention Charlie to me. But since James told Moira he loved her and she knocked him back, I've had people stopping me more often about Emmerdale.'
Trivia:
Ward was in the original production of short-lived Spice Girls musical Viva Forever! He won two British Soap Awards during his time on Coronation Street.
