More Information
Did You Know..
Russell Tovey
(Actor)
.. Barclay Pierre-Dupont
Born:
November 14, 1981
in
Essex
Best Known For:
Being Human and his guest appearances on Doctor Who.
Early-life:
Russell George Tovey was born on November 14, 1981, in Essex. While attending Shenfield High School in Essex, Tovey was chosen to appear on CBBC's Mud alongside a young Russell Brand. Ten years later Alan Bennett selected Tovey for the stage version of The History Boys. He was chosen to play Rudge, a Tim-nice-but-dim character who's known for his athletic prowess and academic floundering. The role also gave Tovey his first experience on Broadway, as he honed his acting chops with future Gavin & Stacey star James Corden.
Career:
Two years after The History Boys hit theatres, the original cast - including Tovey - were reassembled for a big screen adaptation. It proved to be the springboard that ignited his career, and he appeared opposite Rob Brydon on Annually Retentive shortly after, before bagging guest spots on Gavin & Stacey and Doctor Who. His face was fast becoming recognisable on British screens, and Russell T Davies even put his name forward as a potential replacement for David Tennant as the eleventh Doctor Who. After a stint on the BBC's Little Dorrit period drama, Tovey's long-awaited opportunity in a lead role arrived in 2008's Being Human. He also stars in the HBO comedy drama Looking and ITV's The Job Lot.
Quote:
"People say I have big ears. They're actually small, but they stick out."
Trivia:
For a time during his teens, he worked in the kitchen of a Billericay pub.

Jemma Redgrave
(Actor)
.. Kate Lethbridge-Stewart
Born:
January 14, 1965
in
London
Best Known For:
Being a member of the Redgrave acting dynasty.
Early-life:
Born Jemima Rebecca Redgrave on January 14, 1965, in London. She is the daughter of actor Corin Redgrave and his first wife, former model Deirdre Hamilton-Hill. Her parents divorced when she was nine. She has a brother, Luke, who's a cameraman, and two half-brothers from her father's second marriage to actress Kika Markham. Redgrave claims her childhood home was always full of her mother's friends, some of whom she didn't like. The open house nature of her upbringing made her long for discipline and structure. At 18, she enrolled at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
Career:
Redgrave followed her father, grandparents Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, aunts Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave, and cousins Natasha and Joely Richardson into acting. She started in the theatre, eventually making her movie debut in Dream Demon, and her first TV appearance in Tales of the Unexpected, in 1988. Other early projects include Howards End, Diana: Her True Story, and The Buddha of Suburbia. She became a star thanks to TV series Bramwell, which ended in 1998. Since then she's appeared in such projects as I'll Be There, The Grid, Amnesia, Tom Brown's Schooldays, Frankie and Doctor Who (including the 50th anniversary episode). Redgrave also continues to work on stage.
Quote:
"I think acting can be very self-absorbed, and I find that slightly embarrassing. Sometimes it seems such an uninquiring profession."
Trivia:
One of Redgrave's hobbies is calligraphy, which she began as a teenager to help improve her poor handwriting.

Russell T Davies
(Writer)
Born:
April 27, 1963
in
Swansea
Best Known For:
The 2005 revival of Doctor Who.
Early-life:
Stephen Russell Davies was born in Swansea on April 27, 1963 to teachers Vivian and Barbara. He aspired to be a comic artist but focused instead on writing. After graduating from Oxford University, he joined the BBC's children's department in 1985 and did various jobs, including writing and producing. He began focusing on writing adult TV dramas in 1994.
Career:
Davies' big break came in 1999 when he created Channel 4 drama Queer as Folk, based on his experiences of Manchester's gay scene. He followed this up with Bob & Rose, The Second Coming, Mine All Mine, and Casanova. He is perhaps best known for reviving Doctor Who in 2005, with Christopher Eccleston in the title role. The success of the show led to spin-off series Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. In 2009, he moved to Los Angeles to work on Torchwood: Miracle Day. After returning to the UK, he co-created CBBC drama Wizards vs Aliens. More recently, he worked on Cucumber, Banana and Tofu.
Quote:
"There should be more male nudity on TV."
Trivia:
Davies' writing processes are explored in the 2008 book The Writer's Tale, a collection of emails between Davies and journalist Benjamin Cook.
