Biography |
Gary Edward Lucy (born 27 November 1981 in Chigwell, Essex),
is an British television actor, best known for his role as
PC Will Fletcher on ITV1 police drama The Bill, and as Kyle
Pascoe on another former ITV1 drama Footballers' Wives.
His mother Rosemary (Ros) and father Gary Senior still live
in Essex, and he also has an older sister Samantha. His
cousin is a police officer with the British Transport
Police, who probably advises Gary on his current police role
in ITV's The Bill. Growing up, Lucy wanted to be a
professional footballer, even trying out for the Tottenham
and Watford youth teams. However, he didn't make the grade
and turned his attention to acting.
Lucy cut his acting teeth in shows like Grange Hill and
Dream Team before getting the role that brought him to
public attention, Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks. In this teen
soap Lucy undertook in a male rape storyline, for which he
won the 'Best Newcomer' award at the 2000 British Soap
Awards.
Lucy then went on to do three series of the ITV1 drama
Footballers' Wives where he played Kyle Pascoe, a football
player for fictional club Earl's Park. This gave him an even
higher profile with the British public, partly due to the
role and partly due to his offset tabloid escapades. In 2004
Lucy starred alongside Ray Winstone in the ITV drama She's
Gone as Micheal Sands.
Whilst playing Kyle Pascoe in Footballers' Wives his on
screen mother was Jackie Pascoe Webb, played by Gillian
Taylforth. In The Bill, Gillian also plays his Sergeant
Nikki Wright.
Gary can currently be seen as PC Will Fletcher in ITV's The
Bill, a regular cast member, and has appeared in SkyOne's
The Match.
During his appearance on Footballers Wives, Lucy had a high
tabloid profile thanks to encounters with Liberty X's
Michelle Heaton, EastEnders' Michelle Ryan, Where The Heart
Is star Kelly Wenham and Coronation Street's Nikki Sanderson
earned him a bit of a reputation, and he even won the
Bachelor Of The Year from Company magazine.
He has been dating paediatric nurse Natasha Gray for the
last couple of years, and on 30 August 2005 Gray gave birth
to the couple's first child, India Jasmine, at their home in
Essex. According to Lucy, they do plan to marry but are in
no real rush to do so.
In 2003, a Woman Of The Year competition run by the magazine
Slimming World rewarded the winner a meeting with Lucy. The
eventual winner was a woman who had lost 19 stone, although
there was fierce competition from other including Kerry
Londors and Claire Di Palma.
A motorcycle fan (something he shares with his Bill
character), in September 2006 he came off his Honda CBR600RR
outside Elstree studios and badly bruised himself, delaying
the filming schedule on The Bill.
Gary also has built up a number of homes and residential
ventures, and has built up quite the portfolio, he has his
own company, Gary Lucy Real Estate. |
