As a young man, he became an actor. He was not spectacularly successful, though he did hold down a role in Coronation Street for almost a year, as Gordon Clegg, from April 1968 to March 1969, after brief stints in other shows, such as The Villains and The Liver Birds. It is said that Gordon Clegg is the only role he would ever act again, out of love for Coronation Street and its cast.
