Neil Morrissey

Profile

Available for over a year

Jonathan Maitland profiles the actor Neil Morrissey, who was rescued from an introverted childhood by the stage and television. He captured a global market with Bob the Builder and invested his money in property, with rather less success. As his latest play, Rain Man, opens in Bath, he has found himself having to promise his creditors that he will avoid bankruptcy in order to pay them back. Featuring contributions from Martin Clunes, his business partner Richard Fox and the producers of Men Behaving Badly and Bob The Builder.
