13. Duke Actor Jamie Forman Is The Son Of An Infamous London Gangster

Low-level gangster the Duke is memorably played by Jamie Foreman, who happens to be uniquely qualified to play the part given that he is the son of infamous south London gang enforcer Freddie Foreman.

This wasn't just a one-off for Foreman, though: he's also had roles in the likes of Nil by Mouth, Elizabeth, Sleepy Hollow, The Football Factory, Oliver Twist, and perhaps most memorably as nutter Derek Branning on Eastenders.

And yes, that's future two-time Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins standing on his left-hand side as the Duke's girlfriend, Slasher.
