More Information
Did You Know..
Neil Dudgeon
(Actor)
.. DCI John Barnaby
Born:
January 01, 1961
in
Doncaster
Best Known For:
Being the new Barnaby in Midsomer Murders.
Early-life:
Born in Doncaster in 1961. His dad drove a bread delivery van and his mum was an assistant supermarket manager, although they both also performed on the club circuit. Neil credits his own love of acting to a teacher who forced him to read aloud in an assembly _ it was supposed to be a punishment for misbehaving in class, but Neil found he actually enjoyed it. He went to appear in school plays, before studying drama at Rada.
Career:
Neil made his film debut in 1987 with an uncredited role in Prick Up Your Ears, and went on to appear in London's Burning on TV the following year. He's worked pretty steadily since then in a wide range of TV shows, although he admits he's most frequently cast as a cop _ he's starred in Inspector Morse, Out of the Blue, Between the Lines, Messiah and Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking. Last year it was announced that he would be taking on his most high-profile police role to date when he took over from John Nettles as the star of Midsomer Murders. He has also starred alongside Caroline Quentin in the sitcom Life of Riley.
Quote:
On joining Midsomer Murders: "My secret dream is that viewers will switch on, watch it all the way through and not notice there's a new bloke in it."
Trivia:
He has starred in a number of dramas on Radio 3 and Radio 4.

Best Known For:
The Omen, The Man with Two Brains and Titanic.
Early-life:
Born on July 29, 1941, in Manchester, he's an only child. He describes his early years as "messy", and claims his parents, who never married, continually vied for his custody. He attended eight different boarding schools and admits to being only an average student. After a teacher persuaded him to appear on stage, Warner realised he wanted to be an actor. He had a series of odd jobs before gaining a place at Rada when he was 17.
Career:
Warner gained acclaim with the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Wars of the Roses TV show before landing a major role in the movie Tom Jones in 1963. It paved the way for his first leading part, Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment, in 1965, the same year he won plaudits for his West End performance as Hamlet. Since then, he's made more than 150 TV and film appearances, most notably in Straw Dogs, The Omen, Time Bandits, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Man with Two Brains, Tron, two Star Trek movies and The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse. He returned to Shakespeare in 2005, playing the title role in King Lear at the Chichester Festival Theatre. His later work includes roles in TV film In Love with Barbara, and the dramas Wallander and Mad Dogs.
Quote:
"If people are given quality stuff to watch, they'll watch it."

He has voiced characters in a number of video games, including the villain Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
