Gerard Kelly

Gerard Kelly (born 27 May 1959) is a Scottish actor, who has appeared in many comedies, most notably in "City Lights", "Rab C Nesbitt" and "Scotch and Wry". He has also had more serious roles, including the villainous Callum Finnegan in the soap opera "Brookside". He remains best known, however, for his starring role in "City Lights" as the hapless would-be author Willie Melvin. He had a small part in the 1987 critically-acclaimed film "Comic Strip Presents...Mr Jolly Lives Next Door".

In 1994 he played Felix Ungar in a Scottish touring production of "The Odd Couple", relocated to present-day Glasgow. Craig Ferguson played Oscar Madison. He reprised the role at the 2002 Edinburgh Fringe, opposite his former "City Lights" co-star Andy Gray.

In 2005 and 2007 he appeared in three episodes of Ricky Gervais’ comedy "Extras" as Ian “Bunny” Bunton.

In 2006 & 2007 he starred in a Scottish play called Rikki and Me celebrating the life of Rikki Fulton.

Kelly is well known for his continuing appearances in pantomime at the King’s Theatre, Glasgow.
