Alan Davies (born 6 March 1966) is an English comedian and actor best known for starring as Jonathan Creek on the popular TV mystery series of the same name. More recently he has been a regular panelist on the TV quiz show QI.

Davies was born 6 March 1966 in Essex, England. His childhood years were spent in Chingford and Loughton, attending Bancroft's School in Woodford Green. He graduated from the University of Kent.

Comedy and acting career

He won the Time Out award for Best Young Comic in 1991, and in 1995 appeared in the spoof travel show One for the Road.

Davies later moved into television acting and played Jonathan Creek, a stage magician with a side interest in solving crimes, between 1997 and 2004. Davies began presenting his own radio show The Alan Davies Show in 1998. In 2001 he played Robert Gossage in Bob and Rose, a comedy drama about a gay man falling for a woman. He currently appears as a permanent panellist on the BBC quiz game QI hosted by Stephen Fry. He also wrote in the QI book, called the Book of General Ignorance, however he only wrote four words, which appeared after Stephen Fry's foreword in which he wrote "Will this do, Stephen?"

He championed the case for John Lennon to be the greatest Briton of all time on the BBC's Great Britons series in 2002, which is ironic, as Alan once campaigned for the entire city of Liverpool to be put into Room 101. In 2007, Alan starred in the second episode of ITV1's You Don't Know You're Born.

Personal life

In January 2007 Davies married Katie Maskell. He is a pesco vegetarian: his vegetarianism has been mentioned on several editions of QI; and on You Don't Know You're Born added that he eats fish. He is also recorded as being a regular deep sea diver, also mentioned on several editions of QI. A renowned Arsenal fan, for two years he wrote a weekly football column in The Times and has been occasionally featured in vignettes for Match Of The Day 2.
