Billy Ray Cyrus

In 2004, Blender magazine selected Achy Breaky Heart as the magazine's choice for second worst song ever. He is married and has a passion for outdoor activities, including flying aeroplanes, surfing and deep-sea diving. In 2001, Cyrus began playing the lead role on the PAX Network comedy-drama Doc. He won a BAFTA for his acting in the adverts. Storm in the Heartland (1994), Trail of Tears (1996), Shot Full of Love (1998) and Southern Rain (2000) similarly sold only to a diminishing audience. In between 1997 and 1999 Nicholas Lyndhurst was the public face of the stationery chain store WH Smith, starring as all four members of a family in their adverts. Cyrus' follow-up, It Won't Be the Last, began strong but sales wound up being disappointing compared to Some Gave All. At around the same time, he was also the face and voice on the TV and radio commercials for the telecommunications chain People's Phone.

The success of Achy Breaky Heart from the album Some Gave All, helped popularized line dancing and made Cyrus a star. In 1993 he played the lead character of Gary Sparrow in science fiction sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart. After moving to Los Angeles alone, Cyrus signed to Mercury Records in 1990. During this period, Lyndhurst also starred in ITV sitcoms The Two Of Us and The Piglet Files, as well as a number of stage shows. He attended Georgetown College on a baseball scholarship, but quit to form a band called "Sly Dog" with his brother. This programme started as a small comedy in 1981 and rapidly grew in popularity until it reached its peak in 1996 with its Christmas Day episode gaining the largest audience ever obtained by a fictional TV show in the UK. Cyrus originally intended to play baseball professionally. He then played the teenage son of lag Fletch in Going Straight before achieving stardom in the series Only Fools and Horses in which he played Rodney Trotter, the younger brother of the main character Del Boy.
