More Information
Did You Know..
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.
John Hopkins
(Actor)
.. DS Daniel Scott
Steve Redgrave
(Actor)
.. Scout
Born:
March 23, 1962
in
Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Best Known For:
Winning gold medals for rowing at five consecutive Olympic Games.
Early-life:
The son of a builder, Steven Geoffrey Redgrave was born in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, on March 23, 1962. He was first put into a boat by Francis Smith, his English master at Marlow Comprehensive, who says he was a natural. By the age of 16, Redgrave had firmly devoted his life to rowing, although originally as a sculler. His first international medal was a junior silver in 1980. He wanted to go to the Olympic games in Moscow that same year, but was prevented by a lack of funding.
Career:
Redgrave's Olympic winning streak began in Los Angeles where he won gold for the coxed fours. He went on to become coxless pairs champion with his partner Andy Holmes in Seoul in 1988, before teaming up with Matthew Pinsent and triumphing yet again in Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 (the latter as part of the coxless fours team), before hanging up his oars for good. He has also competed in the British bobsleigh team, and helped London win their bid to host the 2012 Olympics. Redgrave was awarded a knighthood in 2001. He has also put his name to The Steve Redgrave Charitable Trust. In early 2014, he was one of the celebrity contestants on Channel 4 reality series The Jump. He is in demand as a motivational speaker.
Quote:
'Self-belief is probably the most crucial factor in sporting success. It's the iron in the mind, not in the supplements, that wins medals.'
Trivia:
He supports Chelsea FC. His eldest daughter, Natalie, took up rowing in 2009.
