Rafe Spall (Actor) .. Herb

Born: March 10, 1983 in London

Best Known For: Pete Versus Life.

Early-life: Rafe Joseph Spall was born March 10, 1983 in Dulwich, south-east London. His father is actor Timothy Spall. Rafe was named after the title character of The Knight of the Burning Pestle, which his dad played in a Royal Shakespeare Company production. He developed a passion for acting at an early age, but was too embarrassed to tell his folks. Timothy and wife Shane saw him in a school production of Bugsy Malone and suggested he audition for the National Youth Theatre. Rafe was educated at Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College and landed an agent after he was spotted in a stage production of Nicholas Nickleby.

Career: Spall made his film debut in the 2001offering Beginner's Luck. He went on to star in the projects Out of Control, The Lion in Winter, Shaun of the Dead, The Calcium Kid and Kidulthood. In recent years, he's rarely been out of the public eye, featuring in Cracker, the Russell Crowe comedy A Good Year, Wide Sargasso Sea, Hot Fuzz, a TV version of A Room with a View (in which he starred with his dad) and ITV1 drama He Kills Coppers. He's also appeared in Frankie Howard: Rather You Than Me, Desperate Romantics, and Channel 4 sitcom Pete Versus Life.

Quote: 'It's always nerve-wracking for a young actor to be around an established actor. Even if it is his father.'

Trivia: Spall married former Hollyoaks actress Elize du Toit in August 2010.
