CHARLIE CONDOU’S WIKIPEDIA
UPDATES - JULY 2012

Charlie Lomax David Condou (born 8 January 1973) is a former Guardian columnist, gay rights activist, philanthropist and actor who is best known for his role as sonographer, Marcus Dent, in the British soap opera, Coronation Street. 

Condou was listed number 15 in the World Pride Power list 2012, number 8 in the Independent on Sunday Pink Power list 2011 and 42 in the Pride Power List 2011. He is a supporter of Manchester Pride, a Patron of the charities Diversity Role models and The Albert Kennedy Trust, and a volunteer for the Terrence Higgins Trust. He also works closely with Stonewall. 

In 2005 he appeared as Jonatton Yeah? in Nathan Barley and, a year later, as Renoir in the BBC drama The Impressionists. Other television and film roles included guest appearances as Nino in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme with Kathy Burke, Dead Babies where he appeared alongside Paul Bettany, Olivia Williams and Kris Marshall. He had a cameo role as one of the elves in Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn and Kevin Spacey in 2007, before joining Coronation Street, in the summer of 2007. In the same year he appeared in the film Good starring Viggo Mortensen and Jason Isaacs. In 2008 he left Coronation Street. Speaking of his departure Condou said: "I have had a fantastic time in Coronation Street, but as a jobbing actor I believe it is time to move on. There are a few things in the pipeline, one of which is a feature film which is being made abroad. But all that's under wraps at the moment." A Corrie spokeswoman said: "We'll be sad to see Charlie leave. The decision was a mutual one." 

In March 2011 Condou returned to Coronation Street after an absence of almost three years. His return has been successful and Marcus has developed into a hugely popular character. Condou has been promised that Marcus will become a leading character on the show. It had been reported that Coronation Street was to have its first gay wedding in 2011 when Marcus Dent tied the knot with former flame Sean Tully, however the plot failed to materialise reflecting Condou's growing unease with his on-screen pairing with Sean Tully, played by Antony Cotton…Coronation Street sources have indicated that Marcus's relationship with his on-screen partner Sean will end and his growing friendship with work colleague Aiden, played by Toby Sawyer, will develop into a full blown relationship over the Summer of 2012 with the pair enjoying much more prominent roles in the show, possibly at the expense of Sean. 

Condou lives in Islington with his Canadian boyfriend, Cameron Laux and his daughter and son, Georgia and Hal, who divide their time between the couple and their mother, actress Catherine Kanter. In a number of interviews, Condou has revealed that the children were conceived through IVF treatment, following Kanter's 40th birthday and relationship breakup. He wrote a popular column for the Guardian on the subject of same-sex parenting. His second child with Catherine Kanter, Hal, was born in January 2012 and featured heavily in Condou's Guardian column "The Three of Us".
