A selection of photos from my 50+year career, which I take with me when I give my talks. From 'Waiting For Godot' to 'Coronation Street' - there's a lot of wonderful memories there #jobbingactor #actorslife

An independent film I had a lead role in. I was very flattered that the character I played was written especially for me. We toured it as a stage play in 2012 & 2014 before it was filmed in 2017. It was great fun.

Me in Waiting For Godot at Harrogate Theatre in 1978. Myself, Harry Beatie & Alec Linstead were the main cast. Directed by Mark Piper. I played Estragon. It was a very long time ago, but I remember we played to full houses & it was very well received. #actorslife #jobbingactor

Withnail fans, take a look at this terrific book by Toby Benjamin I was delighted to receive a copy recently. It's full of interviews from those involved in the film, including yours truly, plus others who have enjoyed watching it. Well done to Toby on a great read #withnail

On Thursday I went to the Birmingham Rep to see the stage play of Withnail & I. Boy, what a fabulous production. Afterwards I met the cast, inc Matt Devitt, who played the farmer. They were all very kind & welcoming & we chatted about the film & compared notes! Such a great day

I was coaxed out of retirement to record this! A great poem. Please listen if you're able. I've also recorded an interview about my career for the same podcast, to be posted soon I believe.

My 4th and final Heartbeat appearance is repeated again at 7pm this evening. Performing opposite the brilliant Keith Barron, who was a lovely man to work with. I appeared in series 4, 11, 14 and 18, all different characters. Great jobs to do, and not too far from home #Heartbeat
