Danny Dyer

Danny Dyer (born 24 July, 1977 in Canning Town, East London) is a English actor.

After being spotted in his local Sunday School, he was cast in Prime Suspect 3 (1993) with Helen Mirren. He had brief appearances in Cadfael, A Touch of Frost and Loved Up, and made more notable appearances in the television series Thief Takers (1996) and Soldier Soldier (1991). Danny's 1st major movie breakthrough came when he landed the role of Moff in the clubbing film Human Traffic (1999). The huge success of this film paved the way for Danny to become more noticed for his acting, which meant TV roles were now behind him and bigger things were to come, although due to a lack of major film offers Danny has returned to TV work and voiceovers. An example of Danny's big screen popularity would come in 2002's best-selling video game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City voicing Kent Paul. In 2004, Dyer was to take this role again in 2004's best-selling game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Dyer has starred in all three films by the British director Nick Love: Goodbye Charlie Bright (2000), The Football Factory (2004) and The Business (2005). As well as his film and television work, he has appeared on stage in both London and New York, notably in plays by Harold Pinter: Celebration at the Almeida Theatre and a revival of No Man's Land at the National Theatre.

Dyer recently hinted in an interview with gay-themed magazine Attitude that he may have had a gay fling in the past. He was quoted as saying "It's sweet if you like a bit of c**k. You know, I've had me moments. I've had me f**king moments."[1]
