Daniel John Dyer is an English actor and presenter. His breakthrough role was as Moff in Human Traffic. He has also appeared in Mean Machine and The Football Factory. In 2013, he joined the cast of the BBC soap opera EastEnders, in the role of Mick Carter. Dyer has also worked in theatre, having appeared in three plays written by Harold Pinter. He won the Serial Drama Performance award at the National Television Awards in 2015, 2016, and 2019. In 2019, he began presenting the BBC game show The Wall. His family were the subject of an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, a BBC documentary series that researches the family history of celebrities. In February 2017, it was announced that Dyer would be taking a short break from East enders. In June 2018, Dyer appeared as a guest panelist on Good Evening Britain, a one-off spin-off show of Good Morning Britain, to discuss Britain’s exit from the European Union. He is the son of Antony and Christine Dyer, and has a younger brother, Tony, and sister, Kayleigh. His parents split up when he was nine and he was raised by his mother in Custom House. He began acting at 16, and was bullied at school so badly by his peers that he lied about taking acting classes.
He was discovered at a local school by an agent who auditioned him for the part of Martin Fletcher in the Granada Television series Prime Suspect 3. He also appeared on television in episodes of Cadfael, A Touch of Frost, Loved Up, Thief Takers, Highlander and Soldier Soldier. His many other television roles include appearances in the 2003 Channel 4 drama Second Generation, directed by John Sen; as Malcolm, main character Michelle’s stepfather, in Skins; as a football player in the second series of Hotel Babylon; and as Matt Costello in what was supposed to be the pilot episode for Breathless, a BBC two-part television series in development from BBC Northern Ireland, renamed first Blood Rush and then Kiss of Death, when it premiered on BBC One on 26 May 2008. In April 2009, he turned down a role in Eastenders, claiming that although he thought the role sounded good, he did not think he could cope with the pressure. In October 2013, Dyers appeared in the sixth series of Hollyoaks as The White Man. Later that year, he announced that he had been cast in the BBC drama The Queen Victoria.
