Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.John Henshaw (born 1951, Ancoats, Manchester) is a British actor famed for his roles as Ken the landlord in Early Doors, Wilf Bradshaw in Born and Bred and PC Roy Bramwell in The Cops. He is sometimes associated with playing "hard men". He played John Prescott in ITV drama "Confessions Of A Diary Secretary". Henshaw was born one of 12 children and has 6 brothers and 5 sisters. A number of his siblings also act but haven't achieved as much as John. His first name, John, is common with several of his brothers and so he is known by a familiar version of his second name Joseph - Joey but still credited as John. He grew up in Ancoats in Manchester in a working class community called Little Italy, because there were so many Italian immigrants there. Despite poor conditions, Henshaw claims he never had it so good. It wasn't post-war prosperity he relished - it was community spirit. He also had roles in the Steve Coogan movie The Parole Officer and in the BBC Three sitcom The Visit, which was first shown 15 July 2007. He was a refuse collector for ten years before deciding to become an actor at the age of 40.
