Biography

Many an actor has scrawled ‘musician’ onto their CV, alongside the ability to ride horses and do a perfect French accent. But in Andy Anderson’s case, claims to sing and act are backed by solid evidence. Charisma, good looks and a sense of unforced naturalism have served Anderson well on-screen, thanks to a long roll-call of rogues — both likable (Marlin Bay, Roche, The Sullivans) and less so (Gloss, Gold).
