Colin trained at the famous Drama School in Soho in the west end of London, called The Italia Conti Stage School. That's where he first met Graeme Harper, who went on to become one of the best known Doctor Who directors. Colin's first professional job was as "Pip" in BBC TVs Great Expectations.

His life outside the profession involves his family, wife Sally and three children Lucy, Polly and his son Elliot, plus two grandchildren, Anna and little Freddie.
He enjoys real ale and is a strong believer in the campaign to keep Britain's local Pubs open. He plays a lot of Golf, although admits himself that he's not very good at it! His other interests are his motorcycle (a 650cc Kawasaki), and his recently purchased Jaguar XJ8 V8, which he loves.
