Boardman played Murray Priestman in

Timon the Jew in the television series Rome. He also made an appearance in the fifth episode of the 2011 BBC crime-drama series Death in Paradise.[1] In 2013 he starred in the ITV1 comedy drama series Great Night Out as Hodge.[2] In 2014 he played the recurring character of Amerigo Vespucci in Da Vinci's Demons.[3]

In 2006, Lee starred in the film Fated.[4]

He was also the narrator of popular

Sky 1 police documentary Road Wars and its spin off Street Wars.[1]

His BBC series Drop Dead Gorgeous won Best Comedy Drama at the British Comedy Awards 2008.[5]

Personal life

Born in Stockport, England, in 1972, Boardman studied at Stockport College prior to winning a scholarship to the Oxford School of Drama.[6] In 2001 he married his former Coronation Street co-star Jennifer James.[7][8] They have two children; a son born in 2004 and a daughter born 2010.

Actor Tribe

In 2013, Boardman and James launched Actor Tribe, an acting school for children and adults in Knutsford.[9] The courses focus on the complexities of being a working actor through guest tutors who are professional actors themselves.[6] Due to the success of the program, an additional school in Heaton Mersey was opened in 2016, with Boardman and his wife, Jennifer, dividing their time between the two locations.[10]
