Alun Lewis, 72

His training from the prestigious Royal Academy Of Dramatic Art may have refined the star’s skills as an actor, but it’s easy to tell that Alun Lewis’s talent is one that you don’t get from a class. The Emmerdale performer quickly became a national icon, landing multiple endorsement deals simultaneously, which many have credited to the fellow’s good looks.

Even when he transitioned into music, joining rock band The Woolpackers, once again, the performer proved to be an all-around entertainer capable of thriving in whatever he sets his mind to. Lewis may have stepped away from the limelight, but the celebrity’s contribution to the arts remains unmatched.
