	Actors - Steve McFadden

Steve McFadden (born 20 March 1959 in Maida Vale, London, England) is a British actor.

He is most famous for playing 'hard man' Phil Mitchell in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, a role he has portrayed since 1990. His character has been involved in some of the soaps highest rated storylines, including his affair with brothers wife Sharon played by Letitia Dean and the 'Who Shot Phil?' plot.

In 2003 he left the soap for a year off doing pantomimes. He made a brief return in April 2005 and later on October 24, 2005 he made another return to EastEnders for a permanent basis. He famously dated Lucy Benjamin, who played his on-screen girlfriend Lisa Fowler in EastEnders.

Before joining EastEnders he had small roles in The Bill, Minder, Bergerac and the film Buster. He has also appeared in an episode of the anthology series Murder in Mind and the film Kevin & Perry Go Large in 2000.

McFadden has been dogged by bad publicity during 2005, when it came to light that he was involved in dogging. On November 3, 2005, he was the victim of an assault, believed to have been perpetuated by his ex-partner, who earlier in the year had made claims about McFadden's private life in the tabloid press. The woman was released with a police caution. Apparently coincidentally, this incident took place on the same day that Ross Kemp, the other Mitchell brother in the series, was assaulted by his wife.

Steve McFadden has three children, Matthew, Teona and Mollie.
