Early-life: Born February 10, 1975, in Edinburgh. When she was two the family moved to Norfolk, where she grew up with her older sister and brother. At 16, she enrolled in the Italia Conti Stage School, and took on a variety of jobs, including silver-service waitress and a story-telling raccoon in a theme park. Her first small-screen appearance was in the drama No More Dying Then.
Career: Claire lost out to Martine McCutcheon for the role of Tiffany in EastEnders, before landing her big break on Casualty in 1997, playing vulnerable nurse Tina Seabrook until 2000. She played Detective Mel Silver in Waking the Dead from 2000 to 2004, then insisted her character be killed off, before pursuing other projects, including Secret Smile, Perfect Day and Love Lies Bleeding. In 2007, Claire completed her first movie, an independent film called Bad Day. In August last year, she joined the cast of The Bill, playing Sergeant Rachel Weston and after its demise, has continued to be a sought-after character actor.

Born: January 08, 1975 in Gravesend, Kent
Best Known For: Playing troubled thief-taker Mickey Webb in The Bill.
Early-life: Chris almost spent his life working on the water in the family boat business. After leaving school at the age of 16, he began an apprenticeship but quickly realised the work wasn't for him and set his sights on becoming an actor. A family friend rang him with news of a scholarship at a London drama school and he passed an audition, working as a cleaner to pay his way.
Career: After working as a jobbing actor and touring Africa with a theatre group, he wrote to the producers of a documentary called Desperately Seeking Stardom. For three months a camera crew followed him to castings and auditions. By the time the show finished he had won a part in a film (which he couldn't do as he didn't have a work permit) and received an offer of marriage! He was cast as a villain The Bill, impressed bosses, and landed the part of Mickey Webb in the series.
Quote: Asked about his return to the show after a two-year absence, he said: "I'd always kept a good relationship with The Bill - I didn't leave in a big huff or anything."
Trivia: He is a patron for the CPC Kent charity.
