Best known for his portrayal of Rimmer, the insufferable hologram in BBC2's Red Dwarf, Christopher Barrie began his career in stand-up at the comedy store and made his first television appearance in 1982. He was part of the support cast for Jasper Carrott's topical series Carrott's Lib, and from 1984 to 1991, he put his talent for comic voices, and impersonations to use on Spitting Image(in which he also worked as a puppeteer). He was responsible for the voices of John Cole, David Owen, Prince Charles, Ronald Reagan, Jack Nicholson and Sean Connery to name but a few. He also does voice-overs for commercials but his range is so great that he is unlikely to be identified from them. This is his first film role.
