Who is Rupert Hill?

Rupert Sinclair Hill is an English actor known for several former roles in UK soap operas.

Rupert Hill started with small roles on television. He appeared in one episode of EastEnders as Robbie's half-brother Kevin Bolton, and also played a part in a music video by the band Haven.

Hill subsequently went into the ongoing role of Cameron Davenport in daily serial Family Affairs, a role he played from 2002 to 2004. He was then cast in Coronation Street, originating the role of Jamie Baldwin in 2004.

Hill played guitar in the now defunct band Shepherd's Pi which he formed with former Family Affairs co-stars Sam Stockman and Angela Hazeldine. He now leads a new group called Biederbeck, who have performed several gigs in Manchester, London and at Rambsbottom Festival and Bestival on the Isle of Wight .

In April 2007 it was announced by the media that the actor had quit his role in Coronation Street, a move which has left the street without a member of the Baldwin family for the first time in 30 years.

Hill is also part of a small comedy sketch group, Screaming Mess, where he co-writes and performs in many varied comedy sketches and parodies along with childhood friends Jamie Langrish and Marc Norris.
