Date of Birth : Aug 6th 1959
English actor of stage, screen and television. He is currently appearing as Joe McIntyre in the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street. Dinsdale’s largest role to date, however, came in 1985 as Matthew Willows when he co-starred with John Thaw in the British sitcom Home To Roost. Dinsdale played Thaw’s unruly teenaged son Matthew who comes to live with his estranged father after his mother throws him out. The core of the show’s comedy came from constant clashing between Henry Willows (Thaw’s character), who resents his son for imposing on his bachelor solitude, and Matthew’s adolescent antics which clash with his father’s conservatism. The show ran for four series between 1985 and 1990.
Dinsdale co-starred in many British television shows and mini-series in the 1990s. From 1990-1992 he co-starred in Haggard, a comedy set in the late 1700s. In 1995 he starred in the mini-series Bliss, and more recently he has co-starred in the British series Born and Bred, The Chase, and Dalziel and Pascoe. Film roles have included 1995’s I.D., 1996’s Hamlet, and 1998’s So This Is Romance.
