Gavin Brocker

Gavin Brocker was born in Plumstead, East London, and admits that the only school subjects that really interested him were English and drama. He was prepared to train for computer work and went to North West Kent College, where, on the strength of his performance record in school plays, it was suggested he considered taking up acting instead. He received in-service training at the Miskin Theatre before going on to the London Arts Educational School, where he won the Laurence Olivier Bursary, and from where he graduated in 2005. He has since appeared in all media, from the stage revival of 'Beautiful Thing' to the role of a conniving spiv in 'Foyle's War' and a strong supporting part in the football picture 'Cass'.
