FOLLOWING in the footsteps of Gavin Mitchell, who regaled Carnegie Hall guests with stories of his formative days as an actor, various cast members from Still Game and Only An Excuse are signed up to do the same as ONFife’s Actors Studio series continues into the summer months.

Hosted by actor and comedian Ross Owen, these question and answer sessions offer rare, first-hand accounts and backstage stories that offer a glimpse behind the curtain of professional actors working in Scotland.

Scottish actor and comedian Paul Riley leads the way at Lochgelly Centre on Wednesday, May 2.

Known for his role as pensioner Winston Ingram in the Scottish sitcom, Still Game. He previously worked on the sketch show Chewin' the Fat and starred in, wrote and directed Dear Green Place. More recently, Paul played Paw Broon in the stage adaptation of The Broons.

Jonathan Watson is best known for his comedy sketch show Only an Excuse?, which parodies people and events from the world of Scottish football, and the BBC comedy Bob Servant Independent in which he appears with Brian Cox.

A much-loved character comic, Jonathan became familiar to millions alongside Gregor Fisher, Tony Roper and Elaine C Smith in cult show Naked Video in the 1980s. He joins the Actors Studio at Carnegie Hall on Sunday, May 13.
