Howard's Career

Actor Howard Coggins discovered his love for acting when he was 10 years old and performed in a school play. He found that he relished audience attention, and decided to join his local youth theatre group near Bristol so that he could do more acting. At the age of 20, when he set off for drama school at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, he had already appeared in over 40 plays. Since then, he has become a veteran actor at the Bristol Old Vic and has also done a mixture of theatre, television, film and radio. He is active in his community and currently volunteers his time at a local radio station, presenting his own shows. In Beasts and Beauties, Howard had many humorous roles, such as the troll hag in ‘The Girl and the North Wind’ and the dog in ‘Toby and the Wolf’.
