Famous for Acting
Julian Clary is an English comedian and novelist. Openly gay, he is known for his deliberately stereotypical camp style, and winning Celebrity Big Brother 10. He has also acted in films, television, and stage productions.

In 1992, he played a cameo guest star part in the BBC drama, Virtual Murder. In his episode, "A Dream of Dracula", he played an undertaker, alongside other guest stars including Alfred Marks, Jill Gascoine, Ronald Fraser and Peggy Mount. He also appeared in an episode of the improvisational comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway?. In 1993, he made an infamous appearance at the British Comedy Awards where he made a joke comparing the set to Hampstead Heath and stating that he had just been fisting the then Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont. Although the joke was met with uproarious laughter from the audience, he was criticized by the tabloid press, particularly the Daily Mail and also Garry Bushell from The Sun who started an unsuccessful campaign to have him banned from television. From 1998 to 2001, he hosted three series of the Sky TV show Prickly Heat, the first two series with Davina McCall, the last one with Denise van Outen.

Clary appeared in the film Carry on Columbus (1992), an unsuccessful attempt to revive the "Carry On" series of films. It was widely panned by critics, but was more financially profitable than the two other Columbus' films released the same year: 1492: Conquest of Paradise and Christopher Columbus: The Discovery. Clary returned to film in 2001 in the film The Baby Juice Express which starred Lisa Faulkner, Samantha Janus, Ruth Jones and David Seaman, about a prisoner who is desperate to find some way of conceiving with his wife whilst he is prison, but the sperm ends up getting hijacked. It was released on DVD in 2004.
