John Nettles
(Actor)
.. DCI Tom Barnaby
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.

James Wilby
(Actor)
.. Edward Milton
Born:
February 20, 1958
in
Rangoon, Burma
Best Known For:
His performances in Merchant Ivory films.
Early-life:
Born in 1958 in Rangoon, Burma (his father was an executive with the British Oxygen Company), but raised in England. He attended school in Cumbria and gained a maths degree from Durham University before studing at RADA. While there he starred in the 1982 film Privileged alongside Hugh Grant and Imogen Stubbs. After graduating he gained experience on stage, which led to the lead role in Ismail Merchant and James Ivory's adaptation of EM Forster's novel Maurice, again opposite Hugh Grant.
Career:
After impressing in his breakthrough role, Wilby subsequently appeared in a miniseries based on A Tale of Two Cities, and co-starred with Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins in another acclaimed Merchant/Ivory adaptation of EM Forster, Howards End. Though the rest of Wilby's 1990s movies were not as impressively received, he continued to work regularly, turning up in Immaculate Conception, the First World War drama Regeneration, the children's movie Tom's Midnight Garden, and as the bitter lord of the manor in Ken Russell's TV project Lady Chatterley. Wilby reunited with Ismail Merchant in the producer's directorial effort Cotton Mary. He subsequently appeared among the distinguished ensemble populating Robert Altman's Oscar-winning period piece Gosford Park, Midsomer Murders, Poirot and The Great Train Robbery. He also continues to work on stage.
Quote:
'I am lucky enough to find learning my lines really easy. The trouble is that I can't remember anything else, and as soon as I start preparing for a role, telephone numbers, children's birthdays and the names of favourite wines just fly out of the window. It's a real curse.'
Trivia:
In his spare time, he enjoys yachting.
