I love doing comedy and I used to do a fair amount of it. Years ago I
did a series called Don't Wait Up (1983) and comedy is just
something that I enjoy doing, especially when it's as well written as
Lunch Monkeys (2009).
I always wanted to be an actor, largely because my parents used to take me to the theatre when I was a child. My brother, on the other hand, who's a year and a half older than me, is a lawyer, so the family tradition lives on.
If any actor gets offered Corrie (Coronation Street (1960)), for heaven's sake take it because it's the best job in the world.
