Michael Praed (Actor) .. Robin of Loxley
Born: April 01, 1960 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire
Best Known For: Playing Robin of Loxley in Robin of Sherwood.
Early-life: Michael David Prince was born on April 1, 1960 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire to Derrick and Kay Prince. His father worked as an accountant for a petroleum company, so Michael spent his early years in Iran. Michael was sent back to England to attend public school. He then attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He started his career in repertory theatre before getting roles in London's West End. He chose his stage name out of a telephone book after finding out that the UK actors' trade union already had a member called Michael Prince.
Career: Praed got his first big break in London's West End in a 1982 revival of The Pirates of Penzance, where he appeared alongside Tim Curry. There, he was spotted by the producers of Robin of Sherwood and cast in the lead role. He then went to star in a Broadway production of The Three Musketeers, which in turn helped him land a role in the American TV series Dynasty. Since then, he has appeared in Crown Prosecutor, The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne and Casualty, as well as a number of West End plays. He was also a regular narrator for the Timewatch documentary series. In 2016, he joined the cast of Emmerdale as Frank Clayton.
Quote: On money: "On the balance of probabilities, actors probably shouldn't be given mortgages at all, as they're in one of the worst jobs in terms of trying to secure a long-lasting wage."
Trivia: He has two children. A son called Gabriel and a daughter called Frankie.
Rula Lenska (Actor) .. Morgwyn of Ravenscar
Born: September 30, 1947 in St Neots, Cambridgeshire
Best Known For: Playing Coronation Street's Claudia Colby.
Early-life: Countess Roza-Marie Leopoldyna Lubienska was born in 1947 in Huntingdonshire to Major Count Ludwik Lubienski, the chief of the Polish military mission in Gibraltar during the Second World War. Her mother was the former Countess Elzbieta Tyszkiewicz. The family moved to the United Kingdom in 1946. Aspiring actress Roza-Marie changed her name to Rula Lenska, and appeared in early 1970s projects including Peter Sellers comedy Soft Beds, Hard Battles, TV series Special Branch and Edward the Seventh.
Career: After appearing in Confessions of a Pop Performer and Space: 1999, she became a mainstream British star in 1976 series Rock Follies. Despite having little fame in North America, her appearance on shampoo commercials helped make her a cult star, largely thanks to chat show host Johnny Carson who used the ads as a running gag. Rula has been a TV regular in Britain for decades, starring in Minder, Boon, Casualty, Return of the Saint and Robin of Sherwood. She's also no stranger to soapland, having starred in Doctors and EastEnders. From 2009 to 2011 she played Coronation Street's Claudia Colby, leaving the role for the stage show Calendar Girls.
Quote: "I don't like getting older. It's not so much the looks changing, it's that your body doesn't obey you in the same way."

He also studied at the Corona Theatre School where he came to the attention of director Alan Clarke who cast him as Carlin in the controversial BBC play Scum in 1977.
Career: Scum was remade as a movie two years later. Winstone reprised his role, winning huge critical acclaim, before landing a part in the cult Brit flick Quadrophenia. After becoming a well-known name and face, he appeared in numerous TV shows, including Fox, Robin of Sherwood, and The Ghostbusters of East Finchley, but is better known for his often violent or controversial films, such as Nil By Mouth, Face and Sexy Beast. He is currently the face of an advertisement campaign for an on-line betting company, resolutely appearing during live football matches quoting the latest odds. Other projects include Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Departed, Great Expectations, Vincent and the big-screen remake of The Sweeney.
