Born:
September 08, 1979
in
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Best Known For:
Starring in Rev and Balamory
Early-life:
Miles was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979, but spent most of his childhood in London. His father was a minister in the United Reform Church, and it initially looked as if Miles was going to follow in his footsteps when he studied Divinity at the University of Edinburgh. However, he combined his studies _ and a job as a trainee chaplain in the local psychiatric hospital _ with performing as a stand-up comedian.
Career:
His stand-up career started to take off _ he won the So You Think You're Funny? competition in 2001 and two years later was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2002, he also won over a younger audience when he was cast as Archie the inventor in the children's TV series Balamory, which ran for three years. Since then, he's gone on to appear in acclaimed sitcoms such as The Thick Of It and Rev, and has cropped up on numerous panel shows. He's also appeared in films ranging from Johnny English Reborn to Grimsby and The Legend of Tarzan, and took over from Sandi Toksvig as the host of Radio 4's The News Quiz.
Quote:
On being typecast as polite, repressed characters: "I was moaning about this the other day to a friend and he said: 'What are you expecting to play - a Mexican drug lord?'"
Trivia:
Miles starred as the actor David Tomlinson, who is probably best know for his role in Mary Poppins, in the one-man play The Life I Lead. He took on the project after numerous people _ including Tomlinson's eldest son _ remarked on the similarities between them.

Career:

Whitehouse also wrote for Vic Reeves, and took inspiration for other characters from the people he worked with in the building trade. He and Higson later devised the award-winning Fast Show. Since then he's been dubbed the world's greatest actor by friend and fan Johnny Depp. Other projects include Jumpers for Goalposts, Happiness, Help, Kevin and Perry Go Large, Harry and Paul, and Bellamy's People.
