Peter Dean – Hoxton, 81

Peter Dean made a mark in the history of British entertainment by appearing in some of the most popular soap opera shows, including Coronation Street and EastEnders. Interestingly, it was the actress Prunella Scales who convinced him to take up acting professionally by advising him on drama classes.

What then followed next were a series of blockbuster contributions, including Minder and The Chinese Detective. Though, now Peter has become an infrequent face on television. But we suppose with as neat a work portfolio as his, Dean could easily lead a life of luxury without ever bothering himself with another project.
