Bradley Walsh
Bradley Walsh, once best known as a professional footballer with Brentford, has now become a household name on a different playing field.
After being named 'Top TV Personality Of The Year' by the Comic Heritage Awards, Bradley has been on national television non-stop. He injected his own brand of anarchy into "The Wheel Of Fortune" whilst hosting the show for ITV. However, the BBC were so impressed with Bradley's style that they snapped him up to present the "National Lottery". The press obviously agree;
"....comedian Bradley Walsh hurtles through the light hearted game show with such wit and energy. He almost defies you not to enjoy yourselves. Bradley Walsh has certainly arrived" The Sun.
Bradley can also act as he proved by playing the lead role 'Eric' in Michael Cooney's brilliant comedy "Cash On Delivery" in the West End. Reviews were ecstatic;
"Bradley Walsh giving an excellent highly athletic performance." The Guardian
"Bradley Walsh has the manic glazed-eye desperation of the true farceur." Daily Telegraph.
Best known as an energetic and charismatic comedian, Bradley's big break came when he literally stole the show at "The Royal Variety Performance".
He's a regular on "Des O'Connor Tonight" and is one of the UK's most sought after comedians both as a live attraction and as a television performer. He has recently hosted a second series of LWT/Channel 5's "The Big Stage". It was the first variety show on British for 7 years and has now spawned a deluge of imitators.
Last year saw Bradley breaking into television acting; firstly in a cameo role in Carlton TV's "The Thing About Vince" and then in a major role as villain Larry Harmless in "Lock, Stock" the television spin-off from the film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". He also had great success with his own show on Capital Radio, which was broadcast throughout the network on Sundays and made his big screen debut in the film, "Mike Bassett, England Manager".
2002 saw Bradley host two game shows, Shoot the Messenger and Sports Addicts as well as a year long stint as lead character Woody in ITV's "Night and Day". In 2003 Bradley delivered a critically acclaimed powerhouse of a performance as Phil Seagrove in ITV's 'Murder Investigation Team'. Coming up soon, another lead role alongside Amanda Donohoe in 'Murder Squad'. TV bosses have woken up to Bradley's tremendous acting talent. Bradley has joined the cast of Coronation Street as Danny Baldwin, Mike Baldwin's nephew. He has already made a big impact and received universal acclaim from the nation's TV critics. Since being in Coranation Street Bradley has been nominated for Best actor in the National Television Awards, won Best dramatic Performance in the British Soap Awards, and won best actor twice at the TV Quick Awards and The Inside Soap Awards.
Bradley is one of those special and highly imaginative comedians with a gift for observing the ordinary and making it funny. He is one of the rare breed of comedians who can perform in the alternative Comedy Store, as well as being a crowd pleaser in family entertainment. He has also reaffirmed his talent for broadcasting and presenting and proved himself a new and exciting acting talent.
