Neil Morrissey (Actor) .. Rocky Cassidy
Born: July 04, 1962 in Stafford
Best Known For: Men Behaving Badly.
Early-life: Neil Anthony Morrissey was born on July 4, 1962, in Staffordshire, one of four sons of Irish Catholic parents. He and brother Stephen were caught by police during a spree of petty pilfering. They were separated, sent to a children's home and grew up in care. Morrissey didn't have many prospects on leaving school, but turned his life around after enrolling at the Guildhall School Of Music And Drama. On graduating, he landed a job in panto.
Career: Morrissey made ends meet by taking on advertising work, eventually making his TV debut in a 1984 Juliet Bravo episode. The same year he had a small role in The Bounty alongside Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson. Morrissey's big break came in Boon, playing sidekick Rocky for five years before quitting in 1992. Six series of Men Behaving Badly turned him into a major TV star. Other projects include A Woman's Guide To Adultery, Happy Birthday Shakespeare, Hunting Venus, Up 'n' Under, My Summer With Des, The Match and Paradise Heights. He was the original voice of Bob the Builder and had hit records as the character.
Quote: 'If someone wants to pay me millions to be lazy on a big fat project in the sun, then I'm more than happy to take it.'
Trivia: He appeared on the stage in 2006 in Acorn Antiques: The Musical.
Saskia Wickham (Actor) .. Alex Wilton
Mark Benton (Actor) .. Charlie Hardiman
Born: November 16, 1965 in Guisborough
Best Known For: Northern Lights, and Waterloo Road.
Early-life: Born on 16 November, 1965, in Guisborough in the North East, Mark hoped to follow in the footsteps of his uncle, actor Michael Gunn. Always the class clown, he fell in love with the theatre and spent many years trying to make a career out of acting. He was in the same drama class at the Stockton-Billingham Tech as actress Elizabeth Carling. Some of his early acting experience came with the Middlesbrough Youth Theatre, with performances in plays such as Atmos Fear and Twist.
Career: Benton's big break came in the 1997 Mike Leigh film Career Girls. For the past decade he has barely been off our screens. He had a recurring role as Father McBride in the James Nesbitt series Murphy's Law. He has starred with Vic and Bob in their remake of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), Catterick, and Monkey Trousers. He was comedy gold in Craig Cash's Early Doors and The Booze Cruise trilogy. His biggest role was alongside Robson Green in Christmas Lights, Northern Lights, City Lights and Clash of the Santas. He was also a regular on Waterloo Road and is the host of game show The Edge. In 2013, he was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
Quote: 'I think sometimes you have to ask if you want to be an actor or do you want to be a celebrity? I was tempted to do Celebrity Mastermind but I couldn't think of a specialist subject.'
Trivia: Benton is a die-hard supporter of Middlesbrough FC and has featured in the club's official season ticket advertising campaign.

Career: Jarvis began his TV career playing a giant butterfly in an early episode of Doctor Who in 1965, and became a familiar face on British TV thanks to several high profile roles on the BBC, including playing Jon in the 1967 adaptation of The Forsyte Saga and the title role in the serialisation of Nicholas Nickleby a year later. He also took the lead role of Oliver Pryde in Rings On Their Fingers between 1978 and 1980 and has more recently starred in shows including Stargate Atlantis and Numb3rs. Martin is also well known for feature films roles, most notably in James Cameron's blockbuster Titanic and his regular appearances in Dictionary Corner on Countdown. He appeared in EastEnders as journalist Harvey Freeman in 2010. He also performs regularly in radio drama and he is one of the leading readers of audiobooks. He has had a long association with narrating Richmal Crompton's Just William stories.
Quote: 'I'm not interested in making my own mark when I read an audiobook, only in serving the writer. My aim is to make people forget they're being read to.'
Trivia: Jarvis has been married to actress Rosalind Ayres since 1974. He has two children, Toby and Oliver, from a previous marriage.
