Matt Lucas

Matt Lucas is a British comedy actor, born on 30th April 1974. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the scorekeeping baby, George Dawes, in the Reeves and Mortimer comedy quiz show, "Shooting Stars", and his work with David Walliams in the sketch show, "Little Britain" and spoof interview series "Rock Profile".

He began his career in comedy on the London stand-up comedy circuit at the age of eighteen as Sir Bernard Chumley, legendary actor and raconteur - a character who was to appear later in Little Britain.

Matt?s association with Reeves and Mortimer began in 1992, when he was spotted by Bob Mortimer on stage. In 1994 Matt appeared in ?The Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer?. The second series of the show featured Matt in several sketches. He went on to star with them in ?Shooting Stars? (BBC2, 1995-97, 2001). He quickly rose to fame as George Dawes, the giant Baby, who would deliver a string of meaningless gags and insults before delivering the score. This was especially funny as many of the parts were introduced not in the style of a baby, but of a grown man - indeed, often, he would come on dressed as other things such as Elton John.

Recently he has gained acclaim as half of the team for little Britain where he plays, amongst others, Georges mum Marjory Dawes and Sir Bernard Chumley.

Matt's hair fell out after his father left his family when he was a small child.
