Craig Joseph Charles (born 11 July 1964) is a British actor, comedian, author, poet, television presenter and DJ. He is best known for playing Dave Lister in the science fiction sitcom ''Red Dwarf'' and Lloyd Mullaney in the soap opera ''Coronation Street'', and as a funk and soul DJ. Charles first appeared on television as a performance poet, which led to minor presenting roles. After finding fame in ''Red Dwarf'', he regularly featured on national television with celebrity appearances on many popular shows while he continued to host a wide variety of programmes. Charles notably presented the gladiator-style game show ''Robot Wars'' and narrated the comedy endurance show ''Takeshi's Castle''. His acting credits include playing inmate Eugene Buffy in the ITV drama ''The Governor'', and leading roles in the British films ''Fated'' and ''Clubbing to Death''. He has toured the UK extensively as a stand-up comedian. Charles has hosted ''The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show'' on BBC radio since 2002, and performs DJ sets at numerous clubs and festivals, nationally and internationally. In September 2015, he left ''Coronation Street'' after ten years, to film new episodes of ''Red Dwarf''. == Early life == Charles was born in Liverpool to a Guyanese father〔''Liverpool Echo'', 22 November 2005, ("Actor Craig's tribute to much-loved father" )〕 and Irish mother.〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/my-secret-life-craig-charles-47-dj-and-actor-7893368.html〕〔("Craig Charles person page" ) bbc.co.uk〕 He grew up on the deprived Cantril Farm housing estate〔''The Independent'', 30 June 2012, Holly Williams ("My Secret Life: Craig Charles, 47, DJ and actor" ), London〕 with his older brother, Dean (who died in 2014), and younger brother, Emile. He attended West Derby Comprehensive School followed by Childwall Hall College of Further Education, studying A-levels in History, Government and Politics, English Literature and General Studies.〔''The Independent'', 11 February 1999, ("Education: Passed/Failed Craig Charles" ), London〕 Charles won a national competition, run by ''The Guardian'' newspaper, for a poem he wrote when he was 12 years old.〔Interview with Charles by Chris Jarvis, ''Fully Booked'', BBC TV, 1998〕 On leaving school Charles spent time working in a studio at Central Hall, Renshaw Street, Liverpool. Despite his origins, his eloquence in conversation and in his poetry (which he shared with colleagues) was something new at the time. With his gradual flowering as a poet emerged a certain boldness and self-confidence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Craig Charles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
