John McArdle est un Acteur, Réalisateur et Scénariste né le 16 aout 1949 à Liverpool (Royaume-uni)
John McArdle (born 16 August 1949 in Liverpool) is an English actor. He is most notable for playing Billy Corkhill in the soap-opera Brookside, with many other smaller appearances in other soaps and dramas. Playing a regular character in Brookside's heyday (alongside Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston, and working with writers such as Jimmy McGovern), he burned himself into the viewers' memories with his portrayal of a man beyond breaking point, which culminated with him ranting at neighbours and churning up their lawns, as he drove his car around in circles.
John was the subject of This Is Your Life in 2003 when he was surprised by Michael Aspel on the set of Merseybeat.
In 2006, he portrayed Frank Taylor in the BBC's Surviving Disasters edition of the Munich air disaster of 1958, in which Taylor was the only newspaper reporter to survive.
In 2010 he played Christher Mead's father in Waterloo Road.
McArdle is also an accomplished stage actor, recently seen in Our Country's Good at the Liverpool Playhouse.
He is a patron of the Octagon Theatre in Bolton, Greater Manchester.

The film largely tells the story of the expedition itself, but occasionally flashes to the present where the members of expedition are giving evidence in a military court. The enquiry is to determine which members were at fault for the failure of the expedition, meaning that the story is told in flashback as the men remember it. Initially, the soldiers are shown training while a voiceover by expedition leader Lt. Col. Robert Niell (Simon Dutton) tells us that there will be five British Army soldiers, two Territorial Army soldiers and three Hong Kong Chinese soldiers on the expedition.
