Dominic Brunt is best known for portraying Paddy Kirk in Emmerdale, but before finding fame on the ITV soap he had a very different career.The 52 year old joined the cast of the hit ITV soap back in 1997 and has remained on our screens ever since, taking on a number of hard-hitting storylines over the years. Most recently, Dominic's character Paddy has been facing a battle with his mental health after his wife, Chas, had an affair with Al Chapman, who was murdered after the adultery came to light.
Here we take a look into Dominic's life before Emmerdale... Dominic once worked as a welder and he previously revealed he was painfully shy before turning his hand to acting, which helped to become more outgoing.
Speaking to The Sun, the actor said of his former occupation: "I was in a tiny cubicle which was completely solitary, welding chairs thousands of times, weeks on end. I thought I was going mad "I always had a little bit of a stutter and was a bit insular.
I would have to force words out.The isolation of work and not coming across lots of people very often made it worse.” He eventually decided to leave his welding job and head to performing arts college in a bid to pursue an acting career.
