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.
