Conversations with Gerry Kelly - Charlie Lawson

The ‘bad boy’ of Coronation Street, so he is.
Like his television soap character Jim McDonald, Charlie Lawson has a reputation of being out-spoken and controversial but a man who sticks to his own set of long held principles. Born in Enniskillen into a well to do loyalist family and educated in Belfast, Charlie talks about his rebellious teenage years, how he never met a Catholic until he was 20 and about how he flirted with a loyalist paramilitary group in Scotland before finding his vocation as an actor.
Recently married, Charlie appears content with life today although he still has a hankering to get back to the cobbled streets of Weatherfield.

Enjoyed this conversation. Charlie is true to his roots and like most of us on both sides of the fence, we've learned to be tolerant to others' views and beliefs. We just need the diehards to catch up!
