Emmerdale's newest recruit Darcy Gray was "selling dog food" before he joined the ITV soap.
Darcy will appear on ITV viewers' screens from the first time next week as Marcus, who is the son of evil villain Pierce, and the actor who plays him has revealed what he was doing before he secured the role.
In next week's episodes, Pierce's ex Rhona is stunned when the evil villain sends her a letter from jail, asking for her help to find his son as he is dying and wants to be reunited with him before his time comes.
