Jacob Dudman is an Actor and Film maker from Yorkshire, England. Amassing an online viewership of over 6 million by way of comedy sketches and impressions online, Dudman launched his career as a teenager and began to study acting. Undertaking 'Film Production' at University of the Arts London, he began producing content for the likes of BBC Worldwide and Lionsgate at the age of 18. In the same year, his directorial debut 'Save The Rhino Vietnam' - a nature documentary - was released to the praise of WWF, who called it "heartwarming". Eric Goode (Tiger King) expressed "People need to watch this".

Dudman gained acting representation and landed his first TV job at the age of 20 (as the male lead in BBC's 'The A List) , and has been working consistently in the industry ever since. He is best known for his roles in hit Netflix series such as 'The Stranger', 'Medici', 'The Last Kingdom' and 'FATE: The Winx Saga'.

In the VO world, Dudman is known as "one of the UK's most prolific voice actors" (-The Gentleman's Journal), having already established himself in roles for HBO Max, Adult Swim and as the titular character in the Doctor Who audio range series.

He was one of the funniest guys in British television, much acclaimed for his dry wit and deadpan delivery, both on and off the set. Sean Lock was a genuine comedic original. His screen persona has been described as "studiedly obtuse". Either as host or panellist, he knew how to have audiences in stitches with his unique blend of darkly absurdist humour, his material ranging from the everyday commonplace to the wholly bizarre. Lock was perhaps best known for his frequent guest appearances on Stephen Fry's QI (2003), and, more so, as a regular team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats (2005) and its sequel 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (2012) (a collective tenure which spanned almost sixteen years). Between 2007 and 2010 he was voted in a public poll conducted by Channel 4, respectively, 55th and 19th in the all-time greatest ever list of stand-up comics.

The son of Sidney Lock, a worker in the construction business, and Mary (nee McCreesh), Sean grew up in Surrey. After leaving school, his father got him a job as a labourer. For seven years, he worked on high scaffolds, stripping concrete panels from buildings. Exposed to the sun and having unwisely eschewed sunscreens, he developed a malignant melanoma at 27 which was successfully treated. Lock then tried his hand at other short-term pursuits, including as a goat herder, toilet cleaner and social security office worker. He eventually undertook studies at the Drama Centre in London, hoping to become an actor. While this did not pan out, he discovered, through frequent visits to comedy clubs studying different techniques, that humour was more his forte. He has cited Dave Allen and Alexei Sayle, among others, as having been a "massive influence". In 1988, Lock had his first 20 minute gig at a pub in Stoke Newington in north-east London which resulted in a £15 paycheque and confirmed the future course of his career.

Lock began on television in 1991. By 1998, he had his own radio sitcom, 15 Minutes of Misery, in which he starred as a resident in a high-rise tower block, eavesdropping on neighbours via hidden microphones installed by his plumber "Hot Bob". This spawned a 12-part TV series, 15 Storeys High (2002), which he also primarily scripted. In 2000, Lock was voted Best Live Comic at the British Comedy Awards (that same year, Rob Brydon was voted Best Newcomer). As a writer, Lock also regularly contributed additional material to comedy shows featuring Bill Bailey, Lee Evans, Phill Jupitus and Alan Davies. Between 2006 and 2007, he hosted and produced a panel show, TV Heaven, Telly Hell (2006), in which celebs were asked to recount and discuss their likes and dislikes in television history. In 2012, he was nominated for a Perrier Award as Best Male Television Comic.

Sean Lock once said: "I go to my office nearly every day, and I'll sit there for six or seven hours and come up with ideas, and that's the only way I can justify turning up on stage" and "the thing about comedy, there's something utterly delightful and slightly pure about a really good joke, and to create one is a great pleasure". His untimely passing at the age of 58 in August 2021 is much to be lamented.

Over four decades from the Thirties, James Ottaway was a regular on the West End stage, but his talents as a character actor were not fully realised on television until the Sixties. He followed roles in such classic productions as Laurence Olivier's Macbeth at the Old Vic Theatre in 1937 with dozens of guest-starring appearances on television, including a regular part as Jill Gascoine's screen father in The Gentle Touch. In later years, he was usually seen switching between the extremities of upper-class and lower-class old men, displaying his wide range.

Ottaway caught the acting bug as a child, influenced by his father, William, an amateur actor with the St Pancras People's Theatre. Although he graduated from Imperial College, London, in 1929 and became a teacher, he gained stage experience with that company and eventually trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama. He left in 1937 and quickly made his professional debut as the Club Waiter in The Island at the Q Theatre, a role he repeated at the Comedy Theatre the following year.

In between, Tyrone Guthrie, the celebrated director of the Old Vic Theatre, had cast Ottaway as a Messenger alongside Laurence Olivier in Macbeth (1937). Ottaway subsequently toured with the Old Vic company (1940-41), before joining the Army for the war effort.

After being demobbed in 1947, Ottaway resumed his stage career and became familiar to West End theatregoers. He played Joseph Taft in Four Hours to Kill (Saville Theatre, 1948), Mr Wingate in Top of the Ladder (St James's Theatre, 1950), Dr Jadin in The Madwoman of Chaillot (St James's Theatre, 1951), Forshaw in His House in Order (New Theatre, 1951), Dr Welling in Kill Two Birds (St Martin's Theatre, 1962), The Gentleman in The Devil May Care (Strand Theatre, 1963), Murchison in The Waiting Game (Arts Theatre, 1966), and Chaucer in Canterbury Tales (Phoenix Theatre, 1968).

In 1951 he returned for four years to Tyrone Guthrie and the Old Vic company, which had experienced a revival in the Forties, and took part in tours of South Africa (1952) and Australia (1955).

During several seasons at the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park, he played Quince in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1962, 1967), Sir Nathaniel in Love's Labour's Lost (1962), Verges in Much Ado About Nothing (1963) and Ragueneau in Cyrano de Bergerac (1967). Later on Ottaway took four parts in A Voyage Round My Father at Greenwich Theatre (1970), acted Kemp in Entertaining Mr Sloane at the Royal Court Theatre, which transferred to the Duke of York's (both 1975), and - a role he much enjoyed - played Polonius in Hamlet at the Thorndike Theatre, Leatherhead (1970).

Although he made his television debut in 1937, in the fledgling days of the BBC at Alexandra Palace, Ottaway did not become a regular on the small screen until the late Fifties. Over 40 years, he guest-starred in dozens of programmes, including Boyd QC, No Hiding Place, Dixon of Dock Green, Dad's Army, Softly Softly, Z Cars (1962), The Fellows, The Sweeney, All Creatures Great and Small, The Invisible Man, Hi-de-Hi!, Angels, Minder, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Shine on Harvey Moon (1982), Casualty, Boon, Keeping Up Appearances (1990), Jeeves and Wooster, Pie in the Sky, A Touch of Frost, As Time Goes By (1992) and The Bill.

For Hancock's Half-Hour, Ottaway played the small part of a second doctor in The Blood Donor (1961), for many Tony Hancock's greatest moment. His other television roles included Maxie in the 1975 BBC series The Changes, and Arthur in the serial Quatermass, the writer Nigel Kneale's final story in the science-fiction saga. This time it was set in the near future and later it was re-edited for the cinema as Quatermass Conclusion (1980). He also played George Taylor throughout all four series of The Gentle Touch (1980- 84), featuring Jill Gascoine as Detective Inspector Maggie Forbes.

Ottaway also acted in films, playing Grandad in That'll Be the Day (1973), a commissionaire in The Long Good Friday (1979) and a Catholic priest in Absolution (1978) as well as appearing in Room 43 (1958), The Man Who Liked Funerals (1959) and The Man Who Finally Died (1962).

James Ottaway first met his future wife when both performed with the St Pancras People's Theatre, but they did not marry until middle age after meeting again years later. One nephew, Richard Ottaway, is the Conservative MP for Croydon South, while another, Mark Ottaway, is chief travel writer on the Sunday Times.
