Paul Riley was just in his 20s when he started playing grumpy old man Winston, whose character lost a leg as a result of heavy smoking.
This year Paul, a double Bafta award-winning actor and comedian, turns 53 and is touring the country with his own new show Auld Before My Time – An Evening with Paul Riley, visiting Glasgow next month.
The show is Paul’s opportunity to share with fans interesting tales and funny anecdotes from his 30 year-long career, reports the Daily Record.
