Biography

Edit

Recent Role:: Mark North on Luther

Gender:: Male

Born:: 11-14-1959

Birthplace:: Liverpool, England, UK

Paul is the second eldest of five children, born to a Roman Catholic family in Liverpool. His three brothers – Joe, Stephen and Mark – are all successful actors; their sister Clare is a television producer.

Paul attended grammar school in Liverpool and, on the advice of his drama teacher, went on to study at RADA.

… More The four McGann brothers appeared on stage together in the 1982 West End musical Yakety Yak and in 1995 they were reunited once again in the TV drama, The Hanging Gale, which was written by Stephen McGann about the Irish potato famine – and based largely on research he'd done into his own family history.

Paul's first starring role was alongside Robert Lindsay in the BBC comedy, Give Us A Break in 1983, however it was his performance in The Monocled Mutineer in 1986, followed by his role as Marwood ("I") in the cult film Withnail and I, that made him a household name.

Paul married Annie Milner in 1992, though in 2006 they split up. They have two children, Joseph and Jake. Paul has since been connected with actress Susannah Harker.

Tripping Over

Did anyone see this series? The Australians rated it really highly and it was very well promoted over there, but here it was kind of missed - a shame as I thought it was an excellent series. Paul's role was not one of the main characters, but a significant role nonetheless with a strong story line.… More Would love to hear what others thought of this series.
