Biography

---

After gaining a Masters of Arts in Law at Cambridge University, where his friends included Rachel Weisz and Sue Perkins, Mangan took a year out to nurse his mother, Mary, who was dying of cancer and weeks after her death auditioned for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. 'To get into somewhere like that was a seal of approval. It was no longer that you made someone laugh in a school play or you were funny to your mates.' He graduated from RADA In July 1994 and swore off television for years, preferring to take what he saw as more limitless opportunities on the stage. 'You're not being typecast or held to ransom by how you look.'

His breakthrough television performance was Adrian Mole in the six-part BBC TV show series Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years in 2001 but he's probably best known as one of the stars of the Channel 4 comedy Green Wing, playing Doctor Guillaume Valerie Secretan (Guy). He gave an impressive performance as an egotistical, highly successful British TV comic with his eye on Hollywood in Annie Griffin's critically admired film Festival in 2005 and he appeared in the British film, Confetti which was released on 5 May 2006. Empire magazine's review of the film says "Mangan shines as the most unpleasant contender, the controlling tennis-mad Josef".

-@jirob Stephen Mangan? Christ, I knew I knew that voice. His smugbursts ruined the only reasonable R4 comedy I heard this year
