Mickey Poppins rose to fame as Lance Powell in Channel Four's Brookside
for Mersey TV. Before that he had worked mainly in theater including a
stint at The National Theatre but had made guests appearances in such
TV shows as The Bill and Lovejoy. After Brookside, he appeared as a
semi-regular on Channel Five's Family Affairs before turning his back
on acting in 2005. Having already written and directed a number of
short films including The Boy from Ipenema and Ice Cream Jesus he made
the leap into full-time directing. Going back to his original name
Mickey Jones he directed six episodes of Family Affairs and has since
directed several episodes of Emmerdale. In February 2006, he will be
returning to his Mersey TV roots directing Hollyoaks.
