Biography
Ozzie Yue is an English actor and musician who was born in Liverpool and began performing as a guitarist with the Merseybeat group the Hideaways in the 1960s, later joining the funk and soul group Supercharge.

His screen credits include Nuns on the Run (1990), Croupier (1998), Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and Out for a Kill (2003), along with television work in All Quiet on the Preston Front and Father Ted.

A change of course
In the 1970s Yue joined Supercharge, a funk, soul and R&B group. The band built a local reputation but never made the UK charts, though in 1976 it had a single that reached number 1 in Australia.
First role
Yue began acting in his teens in productions of The King and I and South Pacific at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool.
Big break
Granada TV gave Yue extra work at the start, and he says a London agent who saw his photograph in casting told him to stop doing extras work from then on.
Early training
Yue attended the Liverpool Institute High School for Boys alongside Paul McCartney and George Harrison, though he was junior to them, and once flicked pieces of paper at McCartney in art class.
