Actor Bio: After roles on a handful of BBC television shows, British actor Mark Addy made a splash on the international film scene with his turn as a rotund exotic dancer in 1997′s surprise hit The Full Monty. With the film making boatloads of cash stateside and garnering a handful of Academy Award nods and Addy’s ability to effortlessly adopt an American accent, it took little time before he was working on the U.S. side of the pond. In 2002 he landed the lead on the CBS sitcom Still Standing. With Addy starring opposite Jami Gertz, the show became a hit as the lead-in to the network’s wildly popular Monday-night lineup. In between seasons of Still Standing, Addy continued to make time for the occassional big-screen project, popping up in such films as 2003′s The Order and 2004′s Around the World in 80 Days, the former of which reunited the actor with Brian Helgeland and Heath Ledger, the writer/director and star of A Knight’s Tale. – StarPulse
