Martin Clunes

A keen camper van driver, Clunes is married to producer Philippa Braithwaite and has a daughter, Emily. Hirsch also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Ordinary People. Clunes was also frequently recruited by his friend and former Men Behaving Badly co-star Harry Enfield to play charcaters in his sketch shows. He played the title character on the sitcom Dear John and the father of Jeff Goldblum's character in Independence Day. Clunes won much acclaim for his role and seems a popular choice for a permanent role. Judd Hirsch (born March 15, 1935) is an American actor best known for playing "Alex Rieger" on the television show Taxi. When Angus Deayton was sacked as host of Have I Got News For You, Clunes was one of several people recruited to guest host the topical news quiz, having been an extremely successful panellist and stand-in captain in the past (he joked that, as he had been a contestant on the show so many times that there was now only one chair on the set that he had not sat in, before dropping a spotlight and dramatic music on Ian Hislop).

In 2002 he played serial killer John George Haigh in A Is for Acid, and four years earlier he starred as Richard Burbage in Shakespeare in Love. Clunes is an established dramatic actor too, starring in the films An Evening With Gary Lineker, Staggered and Saving Grace. His first television appearance came a decade earlier in Doctor Who, and he also got a role as one of the sons in the BBC sitcom No Place Like Home. The son of actor Alec Clunes, he is best known as Gary in the sitcom Men Behaving Badly which was broadcast from 1992 to 1998.
