I was thrilled to learn today that dishy actor Simon MacCorkindale is to visit Headway Cambridgeshire and will pass on some tips to brain injury survivors about remembering lines and overcoming nerves.
Meeting the star of stage and screen will make their day. It’s fantastic that Simon is taking time out from his hectic schedule to help them.
And I did not realise that he was born in Ely, close to where I live. I can tell you he is not a typical Fenny.
Simon actively supports Headway and will be visiting the Cambridge centre while starring at The Arts Theatre in the thriller Sleuth, by Anthony Shaffer. I shall certainly book some tickets, and I’ve suggested that we take a group of our service users along to see him at the theatre too.
I know Simon used to be a bit of a heart throb, and he certainly does not seem to have lost his dashing looks. It will certainly be a pleasure to meet him on 20 May as vice-chair of trustees at Headway Cambridgeshire.
Simon is best known for his role as consultant Harry Harper in Casualty, but has also starred in countless other television and film productions, including Falcon Crest, Manimal, Robin of Sherwood and even Dynasty.
Thank you Simon!!!
Simon has quite a tv history.
Oh my! Lucky you…I would swoon over him when he was on Falcon Crest. I’ve also seen him in a few TV movies.
I echo Leslie! Great that he is visiting Headway.
I’ve booked my tickets and am really looking forward to it. I just can’t believe he was born in Ely.
[…] Actor Simon MacCorkindale to visit Headway […]
[…] I was also fortunate in being given some advice on this by the very accomplished and handsome Simon MacCorkindale when he visited our Headway centre this week. I’d forgotten he was married to the gorgeous Susan George. He was brilliant and spent three hours talking to our service users, sharing some of his acting experiences and passing on his winning tips. He has offered to visit Headway centres around the country while on tour with Sleuth to help raise their profile, wanting to support brain injury survivors, saying: “There for the grace of God could we be”.
