Patrick Murray (actor)

Patrick Murray (born 17 December 1956) is a retired English screen actor notable for his role as Mickey Pearce in the sitcom Only Fools and Horses.

Born in London to an Irish father and Spanish mother, he was educated at St. Frances Cabrini primary school and St. Thomas the Apostle College. Murray has appeared in starring and supporting roles in numerous films and television programmes. He also became well known for his appearances in Television commercials for the Italian home appliance company Zanussi. Murray is a staunch supporter of his local league football club Millwall F.C., often being recognised whilst sitting in the stands. In his later years, he was a controller at a mini-cab office in Catford.

In 2018, Murray was supposed to take part in a bus trip that would raise money for Demelza, a children's hospice. However, the trip was called off last minute as Murray revealed he is receiving treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The trip included him entertaining 70 fans while travelling from Leysdown-on-Sea in Kent to Margate. Murray hopes to complete the trip late in October.[1]
