Neil Pearson (born April 27, 1959) is a popular British actor.
Pearson came of a poor London family, and as a boy, attended Woolverstone Hall, an experimental boarding school, where he learned to act. He made his first television appearance in 1982, but it was the roles of office Lothario, Dave Charnley, in the sitcom, Drop the Dead Donkey, and of Detective-Superintendent Tony Clark in the thriller, Between the Lines, that he made his greatest impact on the viewing public. Since then he has appeared in such varied roles as Dr Jameson in Rhodes (1998) and Jack Green in the children's serial, The Magician's House (1999), and John Diamond in A Lump in My Throat (2003). He has also been in several hit films, including Fever Pitch (1997) and Bridget Jones's Diary (2001).
