Soap icon Ross Kemp, 58, gives the lowdown on his acting comeback after a long hiatus and also reveals his young family’s lack of interest in following in his footsteps
After a seven-year break from acting, Ross Kemp returns to our screens in dramatic style – and in a costume his one-time alter-ego would never be caught dead in.
Here, he spills the beans on acting, why he wouldn’t call himself a tough man, and his plans for the future.It was nerve-racking to be honest. If I was asked to visit a prison or go on set, I’d choose the first.There were a lot of things. The script intrigued me, and so did the character.
Hannah becomes inadvertently involved with him, but he is also suspected to be corrupt and has been moved to the area by the Met after being disgraced. I’m sort of Hannah’s wingman and we form an unlikely friendship.There are so many differences, but the main one is in terms of numbers. Normally on a documentary I have a cameraman and that’s it. But on the TV show there were 130 people – I still don’t know what half of them do. Everyone was so nice and helpful, though.
I’ve been away a lot over the years, but generally it’s full-on most of the time, so I found the quietness a bit difficult. I missed my wife and four children. I was fine for the first four weeks but I was ready to go home by the end.My dad was a police officer in the Met for 30 years, and was a detective, too. I also worked with West Midlands Police Firearms Department, making a documentary, and met another detective. Let’s call him Al.
Being a secondary character attracted me to the role, too. If I’d been asked to play a lead after 20 years, I would have been under more pressure than I’d already put myself under.Definitely. Grant would never be in that uniform. Apart from the fact both characters are bald and played by Ross Kemp, the similarities end there.I don’t think I’m tough at all. Who is tough, really? Anyone who says they’re tough all the time definitely isn’t. I’d say I’m more durable.
