- Born in Manchester, England in 1950, Kenneth MacDonald became one of British television's most appealing character actors in a career that spanned a quarter of a century. But his greatest claim to fame was in the role of the publican, "Mike Fisher," in the hugely successful sitcom series, "Only Fools and Horses," which ran for 15 years, 1981-1996. MacDonald played the barman foil to two street-wise London black marketeers who used the pub as their base of operations. MacDonald died of a heart attack while on holiday in Hawaii. Ironically and sadly, on the day his death was announced, it was reported that an additional series of "Only Fools and Horses" would be filmed.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
