Sebastian Croft (Actor) .. Atti
Nick Frost (Actor) .. Arghus
Born: March 28, 1972 in Romford
Best Known For: His work with old pal Simon Pegg.
Early-life: Nicholas John Frost was born in Romford on March 28th, 1972. He left school at the age of 15 and by his own admission "kicked around for a couple of years", before moving to Israel. He returned to the UK 16 months later, and got a temporary job as a waiter. Five years later, he met Simon Pegg, who eventually moved in as his flatmate. Nick used to make his chum laugh in the pub with the character Mike, which Pegg asked his friend to do on the new show he was writing, Spaced.
Career: Frost's starring role in Spaced led to other roles, most notably a one-off episode of Acorn Antiques. In 2002, Frost presented the show Danger! 50,000 Volts! as well as co-writing and starring in the radio comedy Sofa of Time. Two years later, Frost and Pegg teamed up for the smash "rom-zom-com" Shaun of the Dead (2004). Their next big-screen foray, Hot Fuzz (2007), went down equally well with audiences. The third film in their trilogy, The World's End, was released in 2013. Frost has also starred in TV comedies Hyperdrive and Mr Sloane, and the films Penelope (2006), Paul (2011), Attack the Block (2011) and Cuban Fury (2014).
Quote: "I'm a completely different person today because of Simon Pegg. I like to think he introduced me to culture, and I taught him how to make a good bong and the best way to shotgun a can of Special Brew."
Trivia: He voiced Thomson in The Adventures of Tintin (2011).
Craig Roberts (Actor) .. Emperor Nero
Kate Nash (Actor) .. Boudicca
Derek Jacobi (Actor) .. Claudius
Born: October 22, 1938 in London
Best Known For: His classical roles.
Early-life: Derek George Jacobi was born on October 22, 1938, in Leytonstone, east London. His mother was a secretary and his father managed a department store. He is an only child. He became hooked on movies and dancing as a boy and played Hamlet at school, with the production later appearing at the Edinburgh Festival. During his time there, he was invited to meet an agent, who told him that, at 18, he was too young to become a star. Jacobi spent the next three years studying history at Cambridge, where he befriended Ian McKellen and Trevor Nunn.
Career: Following acclaimed performances at university, Jacobi joined Birmingham Rep. He was spotted by Laurence Olivier, who invited him to join the National Theatre Company. He made his film debut alongside Olivier in 1965's Othello. Since then, Jacobi has continued to make acclaimed appearances on stage and screen. Among his films are The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, Love Is the Devil, Gladiator, Gosford Park, The King's Speech and Hereafter. He inspired Kenneth Branagh to become an actor and worked alongside him in Henry V, Hamlet and Dead Again. Jacobi won a Bafta for I, Claudius in 1977, starred in the medieval-set series Cadfael, played The Master in Doctor Who, is the narrator of In the Night Garden and scored a surprise hit with Last Tango in Halifax.
Quote: "As an actor conscious that you are in a theatre, you still have to make it look as spontaneous as if you did not know that you are being watched by 1,000 pairs of eyes."
Trivia: He received a knighthood in 1994.
Emilia Jones (Actor) .. Orla
Sanjeev Bhaskar (Actor) .. Mr Felix
Born: June 28, 1964 in Ealing
Best Known For: The Kumars at No 42.
Early-life: Born on June 28, 1964, in Ealing, London, to Asian immigrants living in Hounslow. He gained a degree and worked in marketing for seven years, writing monologues and sketches as a hobby. After realising he didn't like working in an office, he began performing comedy routines in clubs. His friend, musician Nitin Sawhney, encouraged him after the duo realised nobody was doing stand-up about being Asian and British. They formed a double act called The Secret Indians (Non-Asian) in 1996.
Career: As Bhaskar and Sawhney's stage act grew in popularity they were noticed by the producer of sketch show The Real McCoy, who introduced Bhaskar to Kulvinder Ghir, Nina Wadia and Meera Syal - who then formed the Goodness Gracious Me team. It began on radio, before making its TV debut in 1998. It was an instant success. Since then, he's appeared in Notting Hill, The Guru, Anita and Me, and cult chat-show The Kumars at No 42. He's also starred in the West End in long-running hit Art and visited his ancestral home in what is now Pakistan during the travelogue India with Sanjeev Bhaskar. Other acting gigs include sitcom Mumbai Calling and daytime drama The Indian Doctor.
Quote: "Most of my characters are based on truth. The Kumars at No 42 are basically my parents."
Trivia: He married actress Meera Syal in 2005. They have a son, Shaan.
Lee Mack (Actor) .. Decimus
Born: August 04, 1968 in Southport
Best Known For: His role as namesake Lee in BBC comedy Not Going Out.
Early-life: Born Lee Gordon McKillop in Southport, Manchester. He lived with his parents above a pub before their divorce and he relocated to Blackburn. He left school at sixteen and worked as a stable boy and a bingo caller before his talent for performing was realised. He joined Pontin's as a Bluecoat but was sacked for shouting profanities at the audience and going on stage drunk. He entered an open-mike competition in 1994 and his talent was so obvious that he was to become a full-time comic within 18 months.
Career: His success as a stand-up was crowned when he won an award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He came to the attention of TV bosses after a stint on the radio. Lee was cast in The Sketch show alongside long-term collaborator Tim Vine. After a short-lived stint presenting They Think It's All Over, Mack and Vine began work on Not Going Out. The series revolves around two friends with opposite backgrounds and personalities, much like the two comics themselves. Mack has recently become a regular on comedy panel shows such as Would I Lie to You? and Have I Got News for You. He also has sell-out tours and best-selling DVDs to his name.
Quote: "I'm not as bothered about being as cool as I was 10 years ago. I quite like the idea of being phenomenally uncool."
Trivia: In June 2012, Mack was one of the comperes at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace.
