Colin Buchanan

Actor
Born: 1967
Famous for: Playing the sensitive and intellectual half of crime-fighting duo Dalziel And Pascoe
Before he set his sights on an acting career Colin Buchanan worked as a builder, a delivery man and a rock group vocalist. Luckily for fans of long-running BBC crime series Dalziel And Pascoe - in which he has appeared since it launched in 1996 – the chisel jawed Scot decided his talents lay elsewhere and enrolled at the London Drama centre. Since graduating from the centre in 1991 he has been a fixture on British TV, featuring in 17th-century drama The Fortunes And Misfortunes Of Moll Flanders, comedy All Quiet On The Preston Front, and police-themed dramas Heartbeat, A Touch Of Frost and The Bill. The actor, who grew up in Dundee, now lives in Birmingham - where Dalziel and Pascoe is filmed – with his long term partner Kim and their daughters Kira and Maya.
