Ulitzer95 12,431 Posted January 6, 2021 The Mirror are correct. He was born in ‘52. So IMDb have been spreading an erroneous birth year around the whole web as usual. That’s the problem when you run a “database” where your staff do no first hand research but instead depend on unverified contributions from the public. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a young looking mid 20's then I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Igbon, 68, British actor (Boys from the Blackstuff, The Professionals, Coronation Street).[2] (death announced on this date) Note that it says "death announced on this date". If an exact date is unknown, they're by default listed under the date of the earliest date of announcement by a reliable source. It'll be moved once an exact date becomes clear.
