 Neil Stuke
After taking over the somewhat unsympathetic part of Matthew in Game On, Neil's acting career has gone from strength to strength. He has combined parts in dramas such as Grafters and The Sins with respected appearances on the stage, and in films including Circus and Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry.

| What's he been in? |
| Neil first came to our attention in 1996 when he took over the part of agorophobic, compulsive liar Matthew in Game On with Samantha Janus. The first Matthew, Ben Chaplin had left for Hollywood to star in The Truth about Cats and Dogs.
Since then Neil has appeared in a number of TV dramas such as Murder in Mind, with starring roles in The Sins with Pete Postlethwaite and Grafters with Stephen Tompkinson and Trust co-star Robson Green, as the poor man trying to get his dream house built.
Neil has also been steadily building a career in British movies, such as The Suicide Club, with Paul Bettany and David Morrissey, and Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry, with Nick Moran.
In 2001 Neil starred as the laddish Simon in the short-lived Office Gossip, a sit-com with Pauline Quirke and ex-EastEnders star Daniela Denby-Ashe (Sarah).
In legal drama Trust, Neil played the part of Martin Grieg, an openly gay lawyer at high-flying law firm Cooper-Fozard. His co-stars include Robson Green, Sarah Parish, Eva Birthistle, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ian McShane.
