Kenny Doughty was catapulted to fame after starring in a sex-filled film opposite Andie MacDowell, a role which was a far cry from reliable DS Aiden Healy in Vera, and life with his new wife…
The actor is having a pretty momentous 2023 – leaving his famous role in ITV detective drama Vera, as well as getting married for the second time.
So what’s next for Kenny, and when did he marry his famous wife? Here’s everything you need to know about the departing Vera star…
Who is Kenny Doughty?
Kenny is an actor who is probably most famous for playing DS Aiden Healy in ITV‘s long-running series Vera. He’s also known for playing Sean in Stella.
He’s been on our screens ever since 1998, when he was 23 years old. His first ever role was playing Smokey’s Friend in the film I Want You. Since then, he’s appeared in dozens of films and TV series, including Coronation Street, Servants, Funland, and Goldplated.
Kenny turned to directing in 2008, when he directed the film You Me and Captain Longbridge. The movie captured a journey into the soul of 11-year-old Luke Stanton, who was struggling to come to terms with the hurt after the abrupt death of his father. Joseph Fiennes starred in the film, which only had a cast of four.
What is Kenny Doughty famous for? What’s he been in?
Kenny Doughty’s career began with small parts in films including I Want You, and Elizabeth, where he played Sir Thomas Elyot.
In 1998, he popped up in episodes of Victoria Wood comedy Dinnerladies, Heartbeat, and Love in the 21st Century. Kenny went on to play Young Scrooge in the TV movie A Christmas Carol, and Quintus in Titus.
But it was perhaps his role in the 2001 raunchy film Crush that got him really noticed (see below).
In 2003, Kenny won the role of William Forrest in Servants, and later played Liam Woolf in Funland. In 2009, he appeared in nine episodes of Coronation Street as Jake Harman.
Although his appearance on the cobbles was brief, he made quite the entrance – he interrupted Michelle Connor‘s bath, after climbing through her window…
The roofer, who arrived on the street to do some work for Dev, subsequently flirted his way to a date with Michelle, before planting a smacker on the barmaid.
