Craig Cash (born 11 September 1960[2]) is an English comedy actor, BAFTA award-winning writer and also a director.

Biography

Cash is best known for playing slightly dull and dopey working-class northern men, particularly Dave Best in the hugely successful BBC sitcom The Royle Family, which he co-wrote with Caroline Aherne.[2] He has also written for The Fast Show and for Aherne on The Mrs Merton Show.

Craig rose to prominence in the late 1980s/early 1990s as a music radio DJ on cult south Manchester station KFM,[3] where his shows featured a section entitled 'Who's Mother', featuring the vocal talents of Caroline Aherne. During this period he was also the manager of the band "That Uncertain Feeling".

Most recently, Cash teamed up with Phil Mealey to write the critically acclaimed BBC sitcom Early Doors. He wrote the drama Sunshine which was filmed in Marple, Greater Manchester and was first broadcast on BBC 1 on 7 October 2008. Cash and Mealey also founded the independent production company, Jelly Legs, which produced recent Royle Family specials, The New Sofa and the Goldon Egg Cup, as well as Sunshine.

Cash currently lives in Mellor, Cheshire. He has two sons, who appeared in the one-off episode of The Royle Family entitled "The Queen of Sheba".
