词条 | Draft:Tony Wright MBE |
释义 | Tony Wright (MBE) is an actor and radio presenter who made a big name for himself, especially on radio in Wales. His first acting ‘break’ came in the late 1980’s when he was part of a BBC TV Drama series called ‘The Old Devils’, Wright played the Gay German Barman, Helmet! He went to play a few other roles on TV and performed in several theatre plays such as Death of a Salesman, Gregorys Girl, The Royal Hunt of the Sun, The Accrington Pals and The Deep Blue Sea. During a period of unemployment Wright started to work for a local radio station (Red Dragon Radio) in Cardiff. He quickly managed to get various shows on the station and later on became the hugely successful Breakfast Show presenter on Touch Radio, Capital Gold and Real Radio. Whilst he was at Real Radio, presenting his daily successful radio breakfast show with his co presenter Angela Jay, Wrights contract was terminated due to ‘personal problems’. A later TV documentary on Tony Wright for ITV, told the story of how he had become addicted to alcohol and how he had overcome it. After leaving the radio and winning his ‘battle’ against the booze, Wright returned to acting and successfully completed four theatre tours, a part in the BBC Series Casualty and completed two films (Still Foxy and Chariot). He made a brief appearance back on the radio presenting a ‘summer season’ with his former co presenter Angela Jay during the summer of 2018 for BBC Radio Wales. Also during 2018 he toured in the stage play ‘Bred of Heaven’, playing the downtrodden husband Mike. |
