Dean Fagan has played mechanic Luke Britton on Coronation Street since March 2014. He got into the acting profession almost by accident when an interview for a bricklaying course at college was delayed and instead he signed up for a performing arts course.
His first professional role was playing Culture Club bassist Mikey Craig in Worried About The Boy in 2010 and parts have since followed in Scott & Bailey, Homefront, Freshmeat and All at Sea. Outside of filming hours he is a resident DJ at The Black Dog Ballroom in the Northern Quarter of Manchester, and The Terrace.
