Ian Bleasdale, 69
Ian Bleasdale has a stable career before he became an actor. He was a teacher earning a decent living with a healthy pension waiting after he retired. But he gave it all up for his love for performing arts, and as he constantly jokes, ultimately sent his mother to her sickbed.
He had several small roles in shows like Inspector Morse, Andy Capp, and Coronation Street. But his most prominent role came in the drama series, Casualty, where he played a paramedic named Josh Griffiths. His most recent TV appearance was in a 2021 episode of Pointless Celebrities.
