Biography

Kevin Doyle, a renowned English actor, first drew breath in the bustling town of Scunthorpe, nestled in the picturesque county of Lincolnshire, England, in the year 1961. Although he has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry, it is perhaps his portrayal of the hapless butler-turned-footman, Molesley, in the critically acclaimed period drama, Downton Abbey (2010),that has cemented his place in the hearts of audiences worldwide.

Throughout his illustrious career, Doyle has had the privilege of gracing the small screen with his presence in a plethora of esteemed productions. These include, but are not limited to, the gritty crime drama, Happy Valley (2014),the crime-solving duo-centric series, Scott & Bailey (2011),and the 2016 ITV TV Mini-Series, Paranoid (2016),to name but a few.

When not bringing his remarkable acting talents to the screen, Doyle can be found residing in the beautiful West Yorkshire region with his loving partner, Olwen May.
