The Resume

    (July 12, 1972- )
    Born in London, United Kingdom
    Portrays Max Branning in 'EastEnders' (2006- )
    Appeared in the films 'Flesh+Blood' (1985), 'They Do It With Mirrors' (1991), 'Vera Drake' (2004) and 'The Illusionist' (2006)
    Voice of the Geico Gecko (2005- )

Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like Rob Corddry.
    He changed the GEICO Gecko's accent to a Cockney one.
    He goes out of his way to remind interviewers that he has almost nothing in common with hard-drinking, womanizing Max Branning.
    He banned his children from watching 'EastEnders' because 'It would be too confusing for them to see their daddy kissing other women on screen.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His hobbies include mountain biking and rock climbing.
    He annually runs in a half-marathon fundraiser for the Marie Curie Cancer Fund.
    He also volunteers with the Action for Children charity.
    He said, 'I have a very clean line between work and home.... A job's a job, EastEnders isn't my life.'
    Actor Sean Kazinsky said, 'I've worked with Oscar winners and Golden Globe winners, but the best actor I've ever worked with is still Jake Wood.'
