From Human Traffic and The Business to his critically acclaimed performance in the raunchy TV adaptation of Rivals, via a stint as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter in EastEnders, Danny Dyer has been on our screens for more than 30 years.But it was his performance in the TV comedy Mr Bigstuff that earned him his first BAFTAwin – and one of the ceremony’s biggest cheers from the audience – earlier this year.

You want Pam St Clement. Why hasn’t she played a mafia boss yet? She’d be amazing. She’d be incredible at it.” Image: Dyer at the BAFTAs earlier this year.

After small TV roles in shows including The Bill and A Touch Of Frost, he grew close to the Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter in 2000 after auditioning and earning the role of a waiter in his play Celebration at the Almeida Theatre in Islington, north London.”I’ve got Harold Pinter as a screensaver on my phone,” he says. “I always feel that he’s sort of looking down on me or close to me, so I like to just feel that he’s around me.”Dyer continued the role in Celebration both in the West End and on Broadway, with Pinter becoming his mentor in the process.Read more:Police taking no further action on Kneecap at GlastonburySnoop Dogg becomes co-owner of Swansea football club Install the Sky News app for free Get Sky News on WhatsAppF in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
