Danny Dyer had a fairly typical East End upbringing, and would probably never have entered acting if he hadn't been spotted at his local Sunday School, by an agent who auditioned him for the part of Martin Fletcher in the acclaimed Granada Television series ''Prime Suspect 3'' (1993). At the age of 14 he was given the part and found himself working along side Helen Mirren.

Danny's first major movie appearance came when he landed the role of Moff in the clubbing film ''Human Traffic'' (1999). TV, film and theatre work flooded in as Danny became one of the best and most recognised London actors in the country. Recently he has been seen in the Channel 4 drama Second Generation, directed by John Sen; Mel Smith's film 'High Heels And Low Lifes' Dyer has starred in all three films by the British director Nick Love: ''Goodbye Charlie Bright'' (2001), ''The Football Factory'' (2004) and ''The Business'' (2005).
