Alan Carr was born in Northampton on June 14, 1976. The son of former Northampton Town player and manager Graham Carr, he has a younger brother.

He also presented a weekly programme on Radio 2 for three years, and fronted game show The Singer Takes It All. In 2016, he hosted Alan Carr's Happy Hour, which was a spin off of Chatty Man.
Quote:
'Just because you're gay and on the telly doesn't mean you're a role model. I'm just a comedian. That's all I am. If you find me funny, good.'

Best Known For:
His appearances in several James Bond movies.

Born in Luton on December 6, 1962. Raised on a council estate, Salmon's education ended abruptly when he was expelled from his local sixth form college. He later began modelling before turning to acting, eventually making his TV debut in 1992 in the first sequel to Prime Suspect.

Salmon worked steadily on the big and small screens with small roles in such projects as Lovejoy, Between the Lines, Soldier Soldier and All Men Are Mortal.

Salmon has also appeared in Resident Evil, AVP: Alien vs Predator, Match Point and cult series Hex.
