Andrew Lincoln

Born Andrew Clutterbuck in Yorkshire, the RADA-trained actor got his big break in the 1996 TV drama This Life. He spent the next five years bouncing from bit parts on the big screen and roles on TV, before landing the standout character of Simon Casey in the popular series Teachers in 2001. On the big screen, his highest profile contribution came when he famously declared his love to Keira Knightley in Love, Actually.
