Coupling.
Early-life:
Born February 6, 1972, in Sheffield. His parents are Irish and he has four brothers. On leaving school he studied languages and philosophy at York University, where he became interested in acting, appearing in several amateur productions and at the Edinburgh Festival. He was going to be an extra in Franco Zeffirelli's version of Jane Eyre, but was given a small speaking part instead when the director heard he was planning on going to drama school.
Career:
After attending the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, Coyle landed small parts in TV productions, including an experimental version of Macbeth and Hetty Wainthropp Investigates. He then appeared in such acclaimed movies as Human Traffic and Topsy-Turvy, before returning to TV for Wives and Daughters, Up Rising, and Hearts and Bones. In 2000, he got his big break when he landed the role of eccentric Welshman Jeff in Coupling. He has since appeared in Lorna Doone, Strange, The History of Mr Polly, The Whistleblowers, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and W.E, which was directed by Madonna. Coyle also has his own company, Arcola Theatre, which he runs with friend Rafe Spall.
Quote:
'Heroes are different today, they are not the same as the 1940s and 1950s with the Errol Flynn stuff. Heroes today can be insecure. They can worry too.'
