Ricky Whittle – Calvin Valentine In Hollyoaks

Ricky Whittle can do it all; modeling, dancing, acting, you name it, this celebrity will deliver. The Hollyoaks actor made his debut in showbiz as the face of Reebok in 2000, before transitioning to TV. Even so, the entertainer’s journey to stardom wasn’t smooth sailing from the get-go.

While it was easy for Whittle to land roles in various productions, his immigration status would soon cause him problems, making him lose out on opportunities he had already qualified for. Winners never quit, though. Thanks to the performer’s resilience, he has not only starred on multiple TV shows but has even won the TRIC TV Soap Personality awards.
