Yes.

That's not even Patrick Truman.

I was, like, 12, and I just wanted to act, and there was a bunch of kids from, from ends, like, just going to classes and learning monologues.

And, and the biggest thing for us was meeting, like, Rudolph Walker, he plays Patrick on EastEnders, and being like-

... "Whoa." Like, he came just to us.

He played a barrister in Black Silk, a police constable alongside Rowan Atkinson in Thin Blue Line, proof that the industry could see him as more than that role that made him famous.

Then in 2001, he became Patrick Truman in In EastEnders.

a role he's now played for over two decades, making him one of the longest serving Black actors in British television history.

He was appointed OBE in 2006 and CBE in 2020 for services to drama and charity.
