John Thompson is one of the country's most accomplished actors, thanks to starring roles in hit shows like Cold Feet and Coronation Street, but the 53-year-old says he still has plenty left to achieve.
The actor and comedian has been entertaining the nation since beginning in his career in the early 90s - quickly becoming a regular face on the small screen following Steve Coogan securing him a job on Spitting Image - but the Lancashire-born star is now keen to land a huge movie gig.
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror at the Pride of Manchester Awards on Tuesday night, the former soap star admitted he has several dream role in his targets.
