Stephen McCole is a Scottish actor. McCole plays the leading role in the television black comedy High Times.[1] McCole portrays Rab, an unemployed stoner who lives with his family in a bleak high-rise flat in Glasgow. The series, which received the 2004 BAFTA Scotland Best Drama Award,[2] also features McCole's older brother, Paul.[3] McCole credits the believability of his role to growing up in similar surroundings in Glasgow's Castlemilk project.[4]
McCole has also starred in the 2008 adventure comedy Stone of Destiny. Previous to High Times, McCole appeared in The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star (TV Series) (1998), The Acid House (1998), Postmortem (1998) and the 2003 BBC One miniseries The Key.
