Hugh Armstrong

Hugh Armstrong (born 1944, died 26th January 2016) appeared in Coronation Street in May 1969 as Kev.

After a short period in the army, he changed to acting and trained at the Rose Bruford drama school. He also appeared in The Wednesday Play, UFO, Minder, Between the Lines, London's Burning, The Bill and Stuart: A Life Backwards.

Film roles include The Beastmaster, Death Line and How to Get Ahead in Advertising.

He spent many years in the 1970s in India where he formed a travelling theatre company and was a member of the cultish Rajneesh movement. Although his television and film credits are not substantial for an actor who worked for so many years, he did appear for many years for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre.
