Biographical Notes:

Harry Enfield (born May 30, 1961) is an English comedian educated at the University of York who quickly came to prominence after appearing on Channel 4's Saturday Live in a number of different personae created with Paul Whitehouse. These quickly entered the national consciousness.

Amongst these characters was the Greek kebab-seller with markedly fractured English, "Stavros", a profound supporter of the football club Arsenal F.C., which he demonstrated by frequently uttering the phrase "Up the Arse".

His other popular character "Loadsamoney" spawned a hit single in 1988 and sell out live tour. As a foil to "Loadsamoney" Enfield and Whitehouse created the Geordie "Bugger-All-Money" and in 1988 Enfield appeared as both characters during the 'Nelson Mandela Birthday Tribute Concert' at Wembley Stadium.

In time Whitehouse and Enfield became disturbed that the "Loadsamoney" was being seen as a positive image and killed him off. In 1989 Enfield realised a personal project with the spoof of British Theatre Knights slumming in the film industry "Sir Norbert Smith: A Life".

Before that he provided voices for the British satirical puppet show Spitting Image.

After Saturday Live, Enfield moved to the BBC where he developed his sketch show, "Harry Enfield's Television Programme", and later Harry Enfield and Chums with fellow comedians Paul Whitehouse (later of Fast Show fame) and Kathy Burke.

This created more nationally recognised characters such as "Mr. and Mrs. Loadsamoney", "Tory Boy", "Smashie and Nicey", "Wayne Slob" and "Annoying Kid Brother" who grew into "Kevin The Teenager". Two characters played by Enfield and Jon Glover, Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Grayson appeared for several years both in the series' mock 1950s information film sketches, and in television commercials for the first of the privatised UK telephone companies, Mercury Communications.

In 2000 Enfield appeared in a his first leading film role playing "Kevin" alongside Kathy Burke who played the character's male friend "Perry" - roles originally created for the television series - in "Kevin & Perry Go Large". The film charted the pair's attempt to become professional DJs by travelling to the nightclubs of Ibiza and molesting their idol DJ "Eyeball Paul", played by Rhys Ifans, whilst gaining love but losing virginity along the way.
