Bacon Number of 3:
Todd Carty is famous for two things: being the
cheeky cockney barrow bay,
HIV sufferer and generally unlucky
Mark Fowler in the
BBC soap opera Eastenders, and for being the face of
1970s cult icon
Tucker Jenkins in kid's show
Grange Hill (a character so popular he got his own show, Tucker's Luck).
I went to
IMDB expecting to find a lengthy filmography, but other than the above two mentions and the minor role he played in
Krull (1983), and a supporting role in the
Charlie Drake film
Professor Popper's Problem, there's almost nothing. Carty played the role of
Mark Fowler for
12 years, from 1990 to 2002
(the previous actor, David Scarboro, commited suicide).
In 2002, Carty left Eastenders and, as I had predicted, is returning to Grange Hill to play Tucker again.
In 2003, Carty joined the cast of
The Bill as PC Gabriel Kent.
