I wonder if anyone in here would like to comment on this little argument
i'm having at the moment?

Anyone remember Doug Allen who played Nathan Williams in Eastenders up until
about a year ago who was Roy's son who came along when his mum died and ran
the car lot for a while - almost managed to steal Natalie away from Barry
and so on.

Well there is an advert for Goodfella's Pizza on at the moment - about how
their pizzas taste so good etc that nobody will bother going for a
restaurant pizza anymore - Well the 'italian' guy being interviewed I am
certain is the guy who played Nathan - but then my friend thinks its totally
not - like different hairline, bone structure etc..

I have scanned the net for an hour for any up to date references of Doug
Allen but the best I can think of is somehow tracing his agent and asking
him direct!!

For anyone wanting a reminder - heres the best pic i can find of doug -

Yup.

I agree with your friend. It don't look nothing like Nathan.
Too fat, and not enough grey hair.

Unless - he's gained 3 stones, and and started using Grecian 2000.
It's possible, I suppose. I'll have a closer look next time, and report
back. Can't say fairer than that, eh??

Heh. I agree with your friend. They look absolutely nothing alike
whatsoever.

Are you sure you were watching Eastenders and not some dodgy satellite
channel? ;)

Indeed. Our good friend www.imdb.com informs us that Doug Allen has been
making a movie called "What Larry Says" recently, but that has been the only
thing he has done since Eastenders. Personally, looking at the ad, they
look very dissimilar and I seriously doubt they are the same person, but if
you did want to contact the makers of the ad I would direct you to:

http://www.leith.co.uk/SSD-LEITH-goodfellas.html

This is the website of The Leith Agency who are responsible for the advert,
and the website does have a contact at the bottom.
