Famous actor now a Coronation Street icon - familiar to you?
Wow, it's amazing how things can change over time! Here at The Agency, we absolutely adore transformations, and the latest one we've seen has truly left us in awe. You may know actor Tony Maudsley for his role as funeral director George Shuttleworth in Coronation Street, but did you know that he's also played a completely different character in the past?

Yes, you read that right! Before playing George, Tony was well-known for his role as the camp hairdresser Kenneth Du Beke in the hit ITV comedy Benidorm. However, in a recent Instagram post, Tony shared some throwback pictures from another one of his past roles that have left us speechless.

In the pictures, Tony can be seen in his costume for the character of Van Ripper in the American horror film Sleepy Hollow. The second image shows Van riding a horse and carriage, alongside his co-star Johnny Depp who played Ichabod Crane. It's incredible to see how versatile Tony is as an actor!

The comments on Tony's posts are truly entertaining. Some fans have praised the film, while others have joked that his Benidorm character must have had a rough night. Even his co-star Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, joined in on the fun and joked that Tony still looks the same on a Monday.

Back in Coronation Street, Tony's character George is known for his sharp suits and dapper style. But did you know that he has a sister named Glenda who works at the Rovers Return pub? Their recent storyline involved a feud over their father's will, which left the funeral parlour to both of them instead of just George.

As tensions rose, George finally snapped at his sister and expressed his relief at running the funeral parlour alone, calling her a liability. In retaliation, Glenda moved his belongings out of his plush house and forced him to live in the cramped Grimshaw residence. Talk about family drama!
