actor. When he was twelve he decided that he was a very bad singer and that acting was his future.
He studied hard at school and passed all his exams.
When he was sixteen, a theatre school in London accepted him and he moved to the big city. His
family was from the north of England, near Manchester, but his aunt and uncle lived in London, so he
