Timothy Spall
(Actor)
.. John Chapel
Born:
February 27, 1957
in
London
Best Known For:
Playing Barry in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
Early-life:
Timothy Leonard Spall was born on February 27, 1957, in London, and brought up on a Battersea council estate. As a teenager, he considered joining the Army, but changed his mind after playing the Cowardly Lion in his school's version of The Wizard of Oz. He applied for Rada because his drama teacher - on whom he had a secret crush - suggested he should become an actor. He was named the most promising actor of 1978 when he left the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada).
Career:
Spall appeared on stage with Birmingham Rep and the Royal Shakespeare Company before his movie debut in 1979's Quadrophenia. His big break came playing Barry in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet in 1983. He received Bafta TV nominations for Our Mutual Friend, Shooting The Past and Vacuuming Completely Nude In Paradise. Other memorable projects include Secrets and Lies, Life Is Sweet, Topsy-Turvy, Vanilla Sky, Still Crazy, Frank Stubbs Promotes and several of the Harry Potter movies. He received an OBE in 1999. Always in demand, more recent work includes Pierrepoint, The Street, Enchanted, Oliver Twist, The Damned United, The Fattest Man in Britain, The King's Speech, The Syndicate, and Mr Turner.
Quote:
'I'm a decent, jolly, fat guy.'

Born:
November 28, 1963
in
Tenby, Pembrokeshire
Best Known For:
The Lakes and Coronation Street.
Early-life:
Charles Dale was born in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, in 1963. His father ran a record shop and both his parents were keen amateur actors. After leaving school in 1979, he became an assistant stage manager at the Torch Theatre in Milford Haven, where he stayed for a year. After occasional acting roles, he moved to London and trained at Lamda.
Career:
Dale broke into TV with a string of small roles in the likes of Lovejoy, A Touch of Frost and Bramwell in the early 1990s. However, his big break came when he appeared as Chef in Jimmy McGovern's The Lakes, where his memorable turn as the head-case and seducer created an instant screen legend. He appeared in a couple of West End shows and played Dennis in Coronation Street for 18 months. He later appeared as Clive in Paradise Heights, as well as its spin-off, The Eustace Brothers, alongside Neil Morrissey and Ralf Little. He had further roles in ITV's Steel River Blues and children's series Barking! He also appeared in Rocket Man with Robson Green. He joined the cast of Casualty in November 2007 as porter Big Mac.
Quote:
'Big Mac's grumpy, overweight and a hypochondriac. It's nice to be in my comfort zone.'
Trivia:
In the BBC series Coming Home, Dale uncovered the role played by his grandfather in the Second World War.
