Coronation Street to The Commitments:  Nigel Pivaro on the Duckworths and 'Da' 

The former Terry Duckworth is on his way to Ireland to star as one of Roddy Doyle's great characters 

Nigel Pavaro plays Da in The Commitments; right, as Terry Duckworth in Coronation Street.

Always the villain and rarely the hero but Nigel Pivaro wouldn’t have it any other way. 

The English actor and journalist is famous for playing bad boy Terry Duckworth in Coronation Street, appearing in up to 400 episodes over a 29-year period. After losing “the hunger” he once had for acting and perusing journalism, Pivaro is back on stage and playing the type of character he loves.
