Nicholas 'Nick' Cochrane is best known for his role as Andy McDonald in 'Coronation Street'. After appearing in his school's production of 'My Fair Lady', he made his 'Coronation Street' debut as an extra playing football, before landing the role of Andy in 1989. Nick was axed from the show by a new producer in 1997, and ventured into television and radio presenting. He briefly worked on the MUTV channel, where he interviewed footballing legends such as Roy Keane and David Beckham OBE. He continued to act, guesting in TV serials such as 'Heartbeat' (1998), and became a hit on the stage, topping the pantomime bill on several venues, and starring in a nationwide tour of 'Spring and Port Wine' (1999), which toured leading venues including London, Oxford, Manchester, Crewe and Brighton. Nick has also briefly reprised his role as Andy in 'Coronation Street' - in 2000, 2004 and 2009. 2013 saw him making a guest appearance on BBC2's 'Celebrity Eggheads', take on the role of Buttons in 'Cinderella', and the Scarecrow in 'The Wizard of Oz', both at the St Helens Theatre Royal.
