Charles Lawson (born 17 September 1959) is a Northern Irish film and television actor.

Early life and education

He was born Quintin Charles Devenish Lawson^[1] in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, Lawson was educated at Campbell College (a Grammar School) in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and later at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, England.

Career

Lawson has appeared in at least three films and in at least twenty television productions. He is probably best known for appearing as Jim McDonald (who is originally from Belfast) in the ITV television soap opera Coronation Street. He first appeared as Jim in 1989 and remained a regular character for the next 11 years, since which time his appearances have been few and far between.

His other television work includes appearing as Seamus Duffryn in the Yorkshire Television thriller miniseries Harry's Game (also known as Belfast Assassin) (1982) based around The Troubles in Northern Ireland and as Trigg in the television film The Firm (1988). He has also appeared in various other television series including Doctors (twenty-four episodes), Bread (three episodes), The Bill (three episodes) and Rosemary and Thyme (one episode).

In 2009, Lawson appeared alongside an eight-foot frankfurter sausage in a German television commercial, advertising hot dogs. His overdubbed catchphrase in the commercial is Betrachten Sie die Größe meiner Wurst! (English-language translation — "Look at the size of my sausage!").

In 2010, Lawson revealed that he would return to Coronation Street for its 50th anniversary celebrations. He speculated that bosses may be planning to kill his character off. Ultimately, this has not happened.^[2]

In 2010, Lawson and his partner Debbie Stanley opened a farm shop in the centre of the Cheshire village of Prestbury.^[3]
