10 Incredible TV Actors Who Seem To Have Totally Disappeared
9. Daniela Nardini
This Life was one of the seminal shows of the 90s and was responsible for launching the careers of two great TV actors. Jack Davenport has headlined a number of TV shows and had a good supporting actor role in many Hollywood movies. Andrew Lincoln went on to star in Teachers before headlining a little show called The Walking Dead (Heard of it?). Daniela Nardini never seemed to have the same success, which baffled me. I always found her performance as Anna Forbes the highlight of the show you might not have agreed with her character's approach; drugs, sex and aggressive power were all archetypes of her personality, but Anna owned that show. She hasn't completely vanished from our screens. but neither has she shone either. A handful of appearances in the (surprisingly) cancelled Fades and Waterloo Road; apart from that the actress has been consigned to one off appearances over the years. When she should have commanded the screen as much as Jack or Andrew.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
