Leslie Grantham was born on April 30, 1947 in Camberwell, London, England. He is an actor and producer, known for EastEnders (1985), The Paradise Club (1989) and 99-1 (1994). He has been married to Jane Laurie since 1981. They have three children.
I don't like the new Doctor Who (2005). I think it's the fact he had a northern accent.
