Sean Maguire (born 18 April 1976 in Ilford, Essex) is an English actor and singer of Irish descent who became famous in 1988 playing "Tegs" Ratcliffe on the BBC children's drama Grange Hill for four years. He has appeared in several feature films and had moderate success as a singer as well.

[edit] Career

In 1993 he joined the cast of the British soap EastEnders playing Aidan Brosnan, a young Irish footballer playing for fictional side Walford F.C. In 1994, Sean left the show to take a starring role in the BBC drama series Dangerfield, playing Marty Dangerfield. He has also appeared in Holby City and Sunburn.

In 1995 Sean was voted "3rd person you'd most like to see get messy" by CBBC viewers and famously received a custard pie in his face from presenter Chris Jarvis dressed as "The Anorak".

Like many soap actors, Sean then pursued a career in music, releasing three albums, his self-titled debut album in 1994, Spirit in 1996 and Greatest Hits in 1998. Sean's biggest hit was Good Day, which reached number 12 in May 1996.

Not content with acting on TV Sean has recently branched out into films. In the early 90's, he appeared in Waterland alongside Ethan Hawke and Jeremy Irons, and has also allegedly been credited as having a part in A Kiss Before Dying, but his part may have ended up on the cutting room floor as he didn't appear to be in this film after all.

In 2001 Sean played the title role in TV-movie Prince Charming, alongside Bernadette Winters, Christina Applegate & Scottish comedian Billy Connolly - with Martin Short as his assistant Rodney. In 2005 he also made Third Wish - which co-starred actors Jenna Mattison, Armand Assante, Betty White & James Avery (from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air).

Sean also appeared as "Euan" in the defunct WB Network sitcom Off Centre (which also co-starred actors Eddie Kaye Thomas from the American Pie movies and Jason George from also defunct US soap Sunset Beach).

Maguire also plays one of the main characters, Donovan Brink, on the television series Eve.

Maguire is currently starring in the CBS sitcom The Class, playing openly gay character Kyle Lendo.
