Biography

John Nettles has been a recognizable figure on British and international television for over three decades.

Beginning with his role in the UK hit comedy "The Liver Birds" (1969), he quickly became widely known for portraying Jersey detective Jim Bergerac. The series "Bergerac" (1981) was a major success in Britain and was broadcast in countries such as France, Spain, and Greece, earning him thousands of fans.

His rise to fame as Bergerac brought him near film-star status, along with considerable wealth and a large number of female admirers.

Although "Bergerac" was discontinued in the early 1990s, it still enjoys a strong fan base and ongoing popularity abroad, especially in Jersey, where images of John Nettles continue to promote tourist attractions and local services.

Nettles' refined Shakespearean performances have earned critical praise, with many comparing him to esteemed British theatre figures like Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen.

Interestingly, he has largely avoided film roles, choosing instead to focus on stage and television throughout his successful career.

More recently, he has found continued success portraying the straightforward DCI Tom Barnaby in ITV's "Midsomer Murders" (1997). Nettles has expressed a desire to create a TV detective without typical quirks, resulting in Tom Barnaby, a content family man living in the most murderous area of an otherwise idyllic English countryside.
