Biography

Harry Peacock was born in London in August 1978, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey in the world of entertainment. His father, Trevor Peacock, a renowned comic actor, had a significant influence on Harry's early life, with Harry even playing his father's son in an episode of the television drama "Kingdom".

Growing up, Harry was surrounded by the arts, with his older brother Daniel Peacock also pursuing a career in acting. After completing his training, Harry made his television debut in 2000 and went on to appear in various productions throughout the years.

In 2003, Harry met his future wife, actress Katherine Parkinson, during a National Theatre studio workshop production of "Heart of a Dog", in which Katherine played the role of the dog. The couple became engaged three years later and tied the knot in 2009. They have two beautiful daughters, Dora and Gwen.

Harry and Katherine are also the directors of Big Nose Productions, a production company that has been involved in several projects over the years. Harry has had a successful career on stage, appearing in the Royal Court production of "Chicken Soup With Barley" in 2011.

However, it is his comic roles on television that have arguably made him the most well-known. He has impersonated a host of celebrities in the satirical show "Star Stories" and played the role of smug actor Ray Purchase in the sitcom "Toast of London". In 2014, Harry and his co-star Matt Berry, who plays his rival Toast, were both nominated for the best comedy breakthrough award.

In 2015, Harry appeared in the BBC TV sitcom "The Kennedys" alongside his wife Katherine, although they did not play a married couple. Throughout his career, Harry has proven himself to be a talented and versatile actor, with a wide range of roles under his belt.
