Kevin Eldon
"The actor Kevin Eldon", as he is occasionally referred to in self-mocking style, has been a reliable presence in both leading and supporting roles in many successful comedies over the last three decades. He started his career as a character based stand-up comic, his most famous and popular creation being political poet Paul Hamilton, before subsequently collaborating with many of the top names in British comedy and TV. Early work with Stewart Lee and Richard Herring (most notably playing dysfunctional hobbyist Simon Quinlack) led to subsequent successful collaborations with Julia Davies (as put-upon and not actually dead husband Terry in Nighty Night and more recently in Award winning Sky Atlantic series Hunderby), Armando Iannucci, Steve Coogan and Chris Morris.
He has appeared in almost every notable British comedy series in some form of another, including roles in Brass Eye, Smack the Pony, Spaced, Black Books, Saxondale, I'm Alan Partridge, Nighty Night, Green Wing, Nathan Barley, Harry and Paul and the seminal Big Train & Jam.
He has worked with Charlie Brooker for E4's five part horror thriller Dead Set and was reunited with Charlie on How TV Ruined Your Life. He was also featured on the highly acclaimed series Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle.
