Chris Jury (born 28 September 1956) is an English actor, writer and director with a range of television credits. He is best known for his role as Eric Catchpole in the BBC television series Lovejoy, which he played between 1986 (series 1) and 1993 (series 5), with a brief return in 1994 (series 6), for the show's finale. Jury studied Drama/English at Hull University and began working as an actor in the theatre with such names as Mike Bradwell, Danny Boyle and Anthony Minghella, and with companies as diverse as Hull Truck, the Bush and Stratford East. Having made his name in Lovejoy, Jury was a strong contender to play the Seventh Doctor in Doctor Who in 1987, a role which was ultimately cast with Sylvester McCoy. A year later, Jury appeared as a guest star in the story The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. Through his own company, Picture That, in 1993 he produced and directed To Baldly Go, a short romantic comedy which was sold to Channel 4 in the UK, and also secured an international distribution contract, selling to numerous TV stations throughout Europe and the USA. After a brief spell working in drama script development at BBC Pebble Mill, in Birmingham, in 1996 he made two more short films for Picture That: Poppy's Present, which he produced and directed, and Puke Fiction (The Vomit Trilogy), which he wrote and directed. Puke Fiction was shown in competition at the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton and won the Electric Pavilion Award, for Best Film, awarded by the Halloween Society. It was also chosen for a screening at the ICA as part of the 'Uncut' season of short films and was also shown in the 'British Shorts' section of the Manchester Film Festival and the Big Fix Festival in Birmingham....
