Biography

Knott was born in Salford. His first acting was done in British television and radio programmes. He was trained in the Oldham Theatre Workshop. Knott's first major film was Warner Brothers' The Secret Garden in 1993, in which he played Dickon Sowerby opposite such actors as Maggie Smith, John Lynch and Kate Maberly. Following this, he played Joe Green in Black Beauty. In the late 1990s, he played Liam Shepherd in Coronation Street.

In 2004, he returned to theatre to act in Alan Bennett's The History Boys. The National Theatre production later toured the world, affording Knott his Broadway debut. He reprised his role on BBC radio, and in Bennett's film adaptation which was directed by the National's Nicholas Hytner. Knott most recently appeared in the TV series Drop Dead Gorgeous, Gavin and Stacey and the BBC 3 drama series Spooks: Code 9 as Rob.

Knott has two daughters (3 years old and 1 year old) and currently lives in Yorkshire.
