Biggest Ever Soap Star To Movie Star?
Can anyone tell me the biggest UK soap star who has gone on to Hollywood movie fame?
I really want to know as I forget so easily. Like say someone from eastenders or corrie etc who went on to Hollywood fame even breifly. It will help me write a story I am writing if anyone knows any. Thanks |

If you count Family Affairs on Channel 5 - Idris Elba's got to be a contender...

Ben Kingsley made an appearance in Corrie in the 60s I believe as a policeman but I think it was just a one off so I might be stretching it there. There was a short lived soap in the early 90s called Families which Jude Law was a regular in |

Martine McCutcheon is a star of the film recently voted best British film of all time Love Actually.
If she never appears in another film again she still struck gold there. |
