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.

Amita Dhiri
(Actor)
.. DC Grace Dasari
Born:
July 06, 1966
in
Brighton
Best Known For:
Playing Milly in This Life.
Early-life:
Amita Emmanuelle Dhiri was born Brighton on July 6, 1966. She has two younger brothers, Viney and Sanjay. Her mother is French and her father is a Ugandan Indian who was expelled from the country by Idi Amin. She speaks fluent French, took singing and dancing lessons from an early age, and is proficient in ballet and modern dance. Before studying at the London Drama Centre, she sang in a cabaret group, doing Tina Turner impressions.
Career:
Started out in theatre, most notably in Twelfth Night in Bedford. Her first TV appearance was as Milly in 1996's This Life. The drama about young lawyers became a huge hit and she, along with co-stars Daniela Nardini, Jack Davenport and Andrew Lincoln, were hailed as part of an exciting new generation of British actors. She says: 'Milly has helped me win roles that aren't written with Asian actresses in mind. But it's always going to be difficult to get equal treatment.' Dhiri then took guest roles in Casualty and McCallum, before going back to the stage. In 1999, she returned to TV in nuclear disaster drama The Last Train. More recently, she has starred in Silent Witness, Judge John Deed, Holby City, The Bill and Talking to the Dead.
Quote:
On This Life: 'Swearing, drinking, an affair - it was a big risk for an Asian actress. Had the show bombed, it would have been hard to escape with any credibility.'
Trivia:
After college, Dhiri's first job was with a man who wanted to make a Hindi version of Grease.

in
London
Best Known For:
Playing soap tearaway Mandy in EastEnders.
Early-life:
Born in london in 1974, Nicola grew up off East Street, which runs down the middle of the Old Kent Road in South London. She attended the Townsend Primary School in South East London, where her parents were advised by a teacher 'to channel her energy into something positive.' As a result they sent her to the Corona Theatre School and Sylvia Young Theatre School, where Denise Van Outen, Dani Behr and her future EastEnders co-star, Danniella Westbrook, were among her contemporaries.
Career:
She made her TV debut in the detective series, Dempsey & Makepeace (ITV), in 1985 and she went on to have roles in several films, before landing a regular role in TV favourite Simon and the Witch. She is perhaps best known for her role as the wayward Mandy Salter in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders, which she played from 1992-1994. Roles in The Bill, Bad Girls and Emmerdale have followed, alongside stage work and movies. She returned to EastEnders in 2011 and left the following year.
Quote:
'The publicity with something regarding EastEnders is huge and sometimes you end up feeling like a famous person rather than an actress - I wanted my work to be more fulfilling than that.'
Trivia:
In 1993, her EastEnders character featured in a special Children in Need edition of Doctor Who.
