Be a Man
Season 26, Episode 1

On Will Fletcher's last day at Sun Hill, Mickey questions a man accused of assaulting a doctor who he claims is having an affair with his wife. The suspect turns out to be severely depressed and unbalanced, but Callum's macho handling pushes him further toward disaster when he disappears with his baby son in his car. Realising his error, the sergeant tracks him down, only to see the distraught man deliberately smash into a parked vehicle, setting his own car alight

Sam Callis (Actor) .. Sgt Callum Stone
Chris Simmons (Actor) .. DC Mickey Webb
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.

Born: November 27, 1981 in Chigwell
Best Known For: Footballers' Wives.
Early-life: Gary Edward Lucy was born in Chigwell, Essex, on 27 November, 1981, to parents Rosemary and Gary Sr. From a very early age he loved football and has been a lifelong Arsenal fan. He showed a lot of natural flair as a player during his schooling, but despite trying out for both Tottenham Hotspur and Watford, he decided to pursue acting.
Career: Gary made his screen debut in Sky One's Dream Team back in 1997, but it was his performance as Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks that shot him to fame two years later. The character was at the centre of several important plots, including a controversial male rape storyline, and he became a firm favourite with fans. In 2002 he moved to ITV1 to appear in three seasons of the glossy drama Footballers' Wives alongside Gillian Taylforth and Zoe Lucker. The feature-length Ray Winstone drama She's Gone followed in 2004, and a year later joined the cast of The Bill. In 2010, he finished runner-up in the fifth series of Dancing on Ice. In 2012, he joined the cast of EastEnders as Danny Pennant. He stayed with the show until February 2014.
Quote: 'We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time.'

Born: October 05, 1974 in Barking, Essex
Best Known For: Playing Smithy in The Bill.
Early-life: Alex Walkinshaw was born in Barking, Essex, on 5 October 1974. A keen swimmer as a child, he used to train five days a week and compete in various competitions, finding it helped his asthma. An energetic, extroverted child, he studied drama as an outlet for his creativity. After studying drama at his secondary school, Alex soon found he had a real talent and joined a Saturday drama class. Encouraged by his teachers, Alex was elated to be accepted into the Sylvia Young Theatre School and later the London Dance Studios.
Career: His first TV appearance was at the age of 12 as an extra in Grange Hill. From 1992 to 1993 he appeared in the sitcom Side by Side. He first appeared in The Bill as a guest star in 1992, 1993 and 1995, before joining as a regular cast member in 1999. He played PC Dale Smith, better known as 'Smithy'. He left the show in 2001, only to return in 2003 when his character was promoted to Sergeant. After a spell in Waterloo Road, Walkinshaw joined the cast of Casualty in 2012 as senior staff nurse Adrian Fletcher. He took his character to Holby City in August 2014.
Quote: On his move from Casualty to Holby City: 'I was really quite nervous when I first started, but everyone has been so welcoming and friendly that I feel my transition has been fairly smooth.'
Trivia: In 2007, he took part in The Weakest Link and won £9,450 for Essex-based charity called 'Kids in Need'.
