	Actors - Kevin Eldon

Kevin Eldon is a notable British comic actor. Although he predominantly plays character roles, he has appeared prominently in several of the most critically-acclaimed British comedy television shows of the 1990s, notably Fist of Fun, I'm Alan Partridge, Brass Eye and Jam.

Starting on the standup circuit in the early '90s performing an act in character as a political poet, Eldon formed a friendship with the stand up comedian Stewart Lee, which would later lead to an invitation to work with Lee on the radio series Lee & Herring's Fist Of Fun with Lee's comedy partner Richard Herring.

Eldon's work sat well with that of Lee & Herring, and he continued to work with them on all their projects, including The Lee & Herring Radio Show, Fist of Fun and This Morning With Richard Not Judy, providing a multitude of characters, most notably: the jelly-obsessed False Rod Hull; and Simon Quinlank, the self-proclaimed "king of hobbies". He also played a version of himself, as The Actor Kevin Eldon. In addition to his Lee & Herring collaborations, he has worked closely with Simon Munnery and Julia Davis.

He has featured in several other comedy projects including Brass Eye, Smack the Pony, Spaced, Look Around You (as singer/songwriter 'Tony Rudd'), Black Books, Big Train, World of Pub, The Sunday Show, Comedy Nation, Cows (the ill-fated Eddie Izzard penned sitcom that followed the life of a family of cows), Jam, I'm Alan Partridge, Attention Scum!, Nighty Night and Nathan Barley.

The actor Kevin Eldon made a guest appearance in a special webcast version of Doctor Who in a story called Death Comes to Time, in which he played Antimony, a companion of the Doctor. He also had a brief role in the 2005 film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, playing Man with Dog alongside his friend and regular onscreen companion Mark Heap who had a similar role.

Eldon has recently starred as First Officer York in the BBC Sit-Com Hyperdrive.

Kevin Eldon is a Soka Gakkai Buddhist. He is 5'10, and has brown hair and brown eyes.
