An actor who auditioned and was turned down for the role of Kurt Benson has been contacted by Hollyoaks to play another role… more than ten years after his original audition.
Richard Cambridge was rejected in favour of Jeremy Edwards (remember him?) to play Benson all those years ago. But Cambridge’s new role is said to be just as bad.
He is to play sleazy careers advisor Peter Webster at Hollyoaks High. A Hollyoaks insider told Digital Spy
Pete is friendly, flirty and has the gift of the gab. He’s definitely got an eye for the ladies but beneath his welcoming exterior, there’s a more sinister side to him.
He’s prone to preying on vulnerable and naïve women by earning their trust before making his move. But if a girl turns down his advances, he’ll not be afraid to use psychological manipulation to get what he wants.
If his lecherous behaviour goes unchecked, he can turn very ominous…
Cambridge has recently appeared in the latest series of Channel 4’s The IT Crowd. Peter Webster will appear on screen from 1st November.
