Larger than life at 6ft 7 inches, it’s hard to believe that anything would stop Tom Davis in his tracks.
Best known for playing Detective Inspector Sleet in Murder in Successville and the head of a working class family in sitcom King Gary, Tom has now revealed he was forced to give up performing for years because anxiety got the better of him.
“I stopped doing stand-up for about five or six years, questioning whether I was good enough, which wasn’t just an hour or so before the show, it would take over the whole day,” says the 44 year-old.
