Jacob Roberts, who portrays Kit Green on the popular soap Coronation Street, recently shared some details about his journey to landing the role. The 34-year-old actor revealed that before joining the show, he spent a lot of time working on rooftops installing TV aerials, rather than being in front of the camera. According to him, it was a tough time, as he struggled to find acting work after his stint on Hollyoaks.
"It was a low moment," he admitted. "Just eight months ago, I was on TV and now I found myself on a freezing cold rooftop, fiddling with a TV aerial. It was winter and I was outside, up a ladder in the cold, instead of being inside, warm and rehearsing lines. It was a reality check and hard to accept. I was worried that someone might recognize me and ask, 'Weren't you on Hollyoaks?' I didn't want the attention, I was there to work."
Kit's character on Coronation Street was introduced earlier this year as the son of Bernie, who had put him up for adoption. He also has two siblings, Paul and Gemma, but he struggles to connect with them due to the resentment he holds towards Bernie for giving him up.
The actor also shared an incident where he was worried about being recognized while out in the pub with his co-star Craig. Kit's character is known to be quite the gossip and in the past, he has even managed to get Craig to reveal some secrets about his past illegal activities.
In a recent episode, Kit was seen once again trying to dig up information, this time about Beth's criminal activities of selling counterfeit t-shirts. He even went as far as to threaten Beth's sidekick, Sid, saying that he would report him to the police if he didn't kick Beth off the team and let Kit take over.
While these scenes may have solidified the fact that Kit is a corrupt police officer, some fans are convinced that there is more to his character than meets the eye. Many are speculating about his true identity and what other secrets he may be hiding.
