The full Morlidge

ROGER Morlidge may reach an impressive 6’ 2” in his stockinged feet, but with his moon-shaped face and podgy body he doesn’t stand out in a crowd.

Yet, it’s this relaxed, next-door-neighbour appearance that has ensured his success on stage and on screen.

A trawl through his CV finds a string of TV roles on big-budget productions — Downtown Abbey, Coronation Street and Sherlock Homes. While on the big screen he has appeared in movies such as Bridget Jones’s Diary and Shakespeare in Love.
