Ross Kemp
(Host)
Born:
July 21, 1964
in
Barking, Essex
Best Known For:
Dodging the bullets on the field of battle and for playing EastEnders' hard man Grant Mitchell.
Early-life:
Ross James Kemp was born on July 21, 1964, in Barking, Essex. His mother was a hairdresser, his father a policeman. His brother Darren is a documentary producer. Kemp excelled at sports at school, but knew from an early age he wanted to be an actor after appearing as a shepherd in a nativity play. He later enrolled at the Webber Douglas Academy in London, making ends meet by working as a labourer and waiter.
Career:
Kemp has rarely been out of work since graduating in 1985. His first credited TV appearance was in Emmerdale in 1986. He also appeared in a string of Kellogg's adverts and featured in such series as Birds of a Feather and London's Burning, before landing the role of Grant in EastEnders - the part that made him a household name. He left in 1999 after nine years. He then appeared in A Christmas Carol, Ultimate Force, In Defence, Hero of the Hour, A Line in the Sand, and a TV remake of Spartacus. In 2005, he featured in an episode of Extras and made a brief, but much-publicised return to EastEnders. He has also hosted a number of hard-hitting documentaries for Sky1, including the Bafta-winning Ross Kemp on Gangs.
Quote:
'I never fail to get a buzz from setting off to work early in the morning and settling into that make-up chair. Mind you, I've done an awful lot of rubbish.'
Trivia:
He has written several books, including the novel Moving Target.

Playing Fiz in Coronation Street.
Early-life:
Born in Bury on February 12, 1984, Jennie's parents separated when she was young. She lived with her father, who encouraged her to take up amateur dramatics when she was eight. As a teenager, she joined the Carol Godby Theatre Workshop. At the age of 13, Jennie came second in a young comedian of the year competition held in London. She went on to spend four years doing stand-up at charity nights, galas and pub nights with her father in Bury.
Career:
McAlpine's first TV role was playing Ollie Reynolds' school friend Michelle Morley in Emmerdale from 1999 until 2001. In April 2001, she landed the role of Fiz on Coronation Street, a role she continues to play. She was originally hired for a handful of episodes but her comic timing impressed the soap's producers and they offered her a long-term contract. In 2008, she had a starring role in the one-off Coronation Street: Out of Africa.
Quote:
'My dad always encouraged me to be independent - to take advice but do my own thing.'
Trivia:
