John Leigh’s first big screen role was a five-year stint on Shortland Street as cafe-owner Lionel Skeggs (the character went AWOL in a 1999 episode). He has since amassed 40-plus screen credits, often playing well-meaning but offbeat characters. His screenography includes the bar-owner in Stickmen, an angry writer in soap satire Serial Killers, and Sparky the pyromaniac in Outrageous Fortune.
The only thing about TV I think is it can be a little ageist [...]. I don’t think you have to be old to watch old people, or young to watch young people, if it’s an interesting story.
