Terry Kiely

Terry Kiely (born September 1975 in Britwell) is an English actor. He is best known for his role in the Sky One series Dream Team, where he played the popular character Karl Fletcher for eight years, despite initially only signing up for six episodes.[1]

Career

Kiely quit the show three times but returned each time after struggling to find alternative roles. The character was eventually killed off at Kiely's request in 2005, but returned in the final series to act as a spirit guide to Harchester United's new captain, Jason Porter.

He has also appeared in Mike Bassett: England Manager playing the character Harpsey, a womaniser constantly on his mobile phone (much to the annoyance of his manager), and Family Affairs, where he briefly played the character PC Dan Ellison.

Kiely took on the role of Nolan in a small film focussing on football hooligans known as It's a Casual Life, released in 2003. He also appeared as Paul in Rough Justice, a little-known Hewland International/ITV show.

Personal life

Kara Tointon dated him for a time. Friend and fellow actor Gerard Kelly, who died in 2010 left his entire estate to Kiely. At this time, Kiely was working as a swimming pool lifeguard in Surrey.
