English actor, best known for playing Martin Ellingham in TV series Doc Martin and Gary Strang in Men Behaving Badly. He said in the Sunday Times "I'm 6ft 3in tall."Photo © ImageCollect.com / Famous/ACE Pictures I'm glad I'm tall although it was a bit of a drawback when I was a kid because I was never aggressive or a fighter but being taller than all my mates if somebody wanted to pick a fight they'd go for me. I couldn't really run away fast enough so I was forever getting beaten up. I'm six foot three and people comment on my height as if it's a good thing.
