Best Known For:
His outlandish personality.
Early-life:
Christopher Kenneth Biggins was born in Oldham, Lancashire, on December 16, 1948, but grew up in Salisbury, Wiltshire. He took elocution lessons as a child and dreamed of becoming a vicar, a chef or an actor. He decided to concentrate on acting after playing the lead role in a local amateur dramatics production. The reviews were so good, he was offered a position with a repertory theatre company - and hasn't looked back since.
Career:
Biggins made his TV debut in a 1971 episode of sitcom Doctor at Large, and has been making audiences laugh ever since. There have been forays into drama with the likes of I, Claudius, The Duchess of Duke Street, Poldark and Upstairs, Downstairs, but his gregarious nature has been put to good use in a variety of comedies. Among his most famous projects are Porridge, Rentaghost, Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Cluedo and Psychoville. He was also a co-host on Cilla Black's Surprise Surprise. Biggins won the 2007 series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! His most recent big-screen credit is the critically panned Britflick Run For Your Wife, and he continues to appear on stage in both plays and panto.
Quote:
"I'm perfectly happy being me, thank you, and I happen to know that I am afforded enormous respect from everybody I know."
Trivia:
Biggins and his partner, Neil Sinclair, formed a civil partnership in 2006.
