Class Actor: My Autobiography
£3.10
Daniels’ career covers a period that has seen unprecedented change in UK society, and Class Actor, his first ever autobiography, reads like a provocative popular culture history of the past 30 years. It charts his 1960s childhood in a rundown part of London’s King’s X, his passion for Chelsea FC, his coming of age during punk rock, his anger and disaffection throughout the Thatcher years – perfectly realised in highly acclaimed pieces such as Mike Leigh’s Meantime- through to his role as Kevin Wicks in EastEnders and his place in Britpop’s hall of fame. Class Actoris a lively and entertaining insight into the passions of a unique artist who remains driven to tell ‘ordinary’ people’s lives through drama.

Crap over-rated egotistic garb. Class Actor? Don’t make me laugh!
I had the unfortunate experience of meeting this person at a Quadrophenia convention. All the cast were lovely except this one … rude, up his own rectum and full of his own self importance.
Mine is now 50p in a charity shop.

A great autobiography of a classic actor.
Charting his life from life in king cross, to being an actor, his breaks and experiences.
Nicely written and warm too.

Great price & condition.
Had to know more about this top geezer / actor ever since seeing him playing the lead role as Jimmy in my favourite film of all time – Quadrophenia so had to have this book and it didn’t disappoint.
