Red
Dwarfs own King Of Camelot Brian
Cox shows no sign of slowing down
just yet. He's appeared in so
many things and you probably
don't even recognise him, some
might not even know who he was or
that he actually appeared in Red
Dwarf. He
was born in Dundee, Scotland on
the 1st June 1946 and is an Emmy
Award winning actor and he'll
soon be hitting our screens quite
alot in the next year or so.
Heres a little more on the
