Warren Clarke
(Actor)
.. Det Supt Andy Dalziel
Born:
April 26, 1947
in
Oldham
Best Known For:
Dalziel & Pascoe (he played Dalziel).
Early-life:
Born Alan Clarke on April 26, 1947, in Oldham, where his father's job involved putting stained glass in church windows. He left school at 15 and became a runner at the Manchester Evening News while doing amateur dramatics in his spare time. He changed his first name to Warren because a girlfriend admired Warren Beatty. After realising he wanted to act, he got his first break in a radio play for BBC Manchester.
Career:
Clarke made his TV debut in the late 1960s, and went on to appear in episodes of Coronation Street, The Avengers, Callan, and The Virgin Soldiers before getting his big break with a prominent role in the controversial A Clockwork Orange in 1971. A variety of TV and movie work followed, including Shelley, SOS Titanic, Ishtar (alongside his namesake, Beatty) and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. High-profile roles later came in The Manageress, ID, The Mystery of Men, The Deputy, and Down to Earth. He became a household name thanks to a starring role in Dalziel & Pascoe, which first aired in 1996. He also appeared in Bleak House, Christmas at the Riviera, The Invisibles, Red Riding, Just William, and In with the Flynns. He died peacefully in his sleep on November 12, 2014 at the age of 67.
Quote:
'My headmaster told me: 'Don't become an actor. It's a ridiculous job. Anyway, you can't even speak properly. Why don't you become a bus driver or something?''
Trivia:
He supported Manchester City.

Susan Lynch
(Actor)
.. Dr Janet Rix
Born:
June 05, 1971
in
Co Armagh, Northern Ireland
Best Known For:
A string of quality roles.
Early-life:
Susan Lynch was born on June 5, 1971, in Co Armagh, Northern Ireland, to an Italian mother and Irish father. She grew up with four siblings in isolation (one of them is actor John Lynch). With no TV, and a limited electricity supply, the family made their own entertainment. She trained at Central School of Speech and Drama, and made her TV debut in a 1991 episode of The Bill. Following a bit-part in the BBC One play Running Late, she made a memorable appearance in one of the first Cracker episodes, To Say I Love You in 1993. A year later she was cast in critically acclaimed blockbuster Interview with the Vampire, and also starred in The Secret of Roan Inish.
Career:
After a standout turn in small-screen epic Ivanhoe, her 1998 movie Waking Ned became a surprise hit in the United States, and in 2001 she starred with Johnny Depp in Jack the Ripper thriller From Hell. She has since starred in The Mapmaker, Enduring Love, Soundproof, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister. On stage she has appeared in The Night Season at London's Royal National Theatre, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at the Almeida, and Dancing at Lughnasa at the Old Vic Theatre, London.
Quote:
'I would always find it much more interesting to play the Al Pacino-type role than the weepy woman victim.'
