He also appeared in its sequel Going Straight. Osoba was the first black Scottish actor to appear on primetime television when he appeared in the series.[1]

Since then, he has appeared twice in Coronation Street, first as Wesley McGregor in 1982, and secondly as Mike Baldwin's boss Peter Ingram for a few episodes in 1990, before the character was killed off.

Early life

He then joined a theatre company in Richmond, toured abroad and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company.[2]

Career

His other television roles include Det. Sgt. Charles 'Chas' Jarvis in Dempsey and Makepeace (1984-6)[3] and both Wesley McGregor and Peter Ingram in Coronation Street (1982 and 1990).

His film career includes roles in Pure as a Lily (1976), the film version of Porridge (1979), Game for Vultures (1979), and Who Dares Wins (1982).

In 2005, Osoba starred as the Kralahome in a UK touring production of The King and I.[6] Recent credits include the 2007 film Tanner, as Superintendent Smith in Hollyoaks and Charlie Dokes in The Bill. In 2011 Osoba made a brief appearance in an episode of The Shadow Line.[7]
