Playing Victor Meldrew's wife in One Foot in the Grave.
Early-life:
Born on February 12, 1934, in Gorebridge, outside Edinburgh. Her parents were strict Calvinists and did not believe in lavishing affection on their only child. She had little self-confidence and as a youngster her only friend was a Staffordshire bull terrier called Dougal. Her mother was a talented musician and wanted Crosbie to be a music teacher, but she became an actress against both her parents' wishes. "You'd have thought I'd announced I wanted to go on the streets," she remarks about their reaction to her career choice.
Career:
After gaining experience with various repertory companies, Crosbie left Scotland at the age of 17 for a scholarship at the Bristol Old Vic theatre school. On graduating, she worked in London's West End. Her film debut came in 1959's The Bridal Path. She later had acclaimed TV roles in The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Edward the King. More recently she has starred in One Foot in the Grave, Doctor Finlay, An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, Calendar Girls, Quite Ugly One Morning, New Tricks, Doctor Who and Little Dorrit.

"You don't really want to know about me. My dogs are far more interesting."

Early-life:
Flemyng was born in Putney, London, the son of Scottish film director Gordon Flemyng. He decided he wanted to become an actor after appearing in theatrical productions at his school. In the 1980s, he was involved with the National Youth Theatre and the political organisation the Young Socialists. In 1990 he was admitted to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), where he was a classmate of Hermione Norris. Following his graduation from LAMDA in the early 1990s he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Career:
Flemyng was then a regular in the ITV drama series Doctor Finlay from 1993 to 1996. His first major cinema role was in Angela Pope's 1996 drama Hollow Reed, followed by a main role in Guy Ritchie's popular 1998 London gangster film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. He has since appeared in many box office successes, such as From Hell, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Transporter 2, Snatch and X-Men: First Class. In 2009, Flemyng joined the cast of the ITV science fiction cult drama series Primeval during its third series, as maverick ex-policeman Danny Quinn. More recently, he has starred in The Musketeers and The Missing.
Quote:
"I fancied a girl who played Dorothy in the school production of The Wizard of Oz. I auditioned for the role of the scarecrow so that I could have the most stage time with her, but she ended up running off with the tin man!"
Trivia:
Flemyng has completed a number of marathons.
