A cockney actor who actually has his East End accent in real life, because he comes from Hackney.
Generally plays the tough man, but can also portray quite a bit of character depth in his performances due to excellent acting abilities.
Was first noted for his starring role in a violent 1979 film called 'Scum', however his finest performance is surely in '
Nil by Mouth' where he plays a violent
father living in a South London council flat, generally calling anyone he meets a cunt.
Away from the screen is a big West Ham United fan and one
time spokesman for Kellogg's
cereal.
