Pushing Daisies Cast Bio - Chuck
British native Anna Friel will no doubt become a popular face on American TV in the coming months. Her new series, Pushing Daisies, is sure to make a star out of Anna. She plays Chuck, the lead male star’s (Ned, played by Lee Pace) romantic partner.
Born to an Irish family on July 12, 1976 in Lancashire, England, Anna first made waves on the entertainment shores of America in 1999 in New York, starring in a stage play of Closer. But back home, Anna is already a familiar face on TV and has made quite a controversial appearance in the series, Brookside, sharing a Lesbian kiss with fellow actress Nicola Stephenson.
In real life, Anna is very much attached to actor David Thewlis, with whom she has a daughter named Gracie, born in 2005.
Of Pushing Daisies, Anna has this to say:
I’m much more anxious than Chuck. I worry about things and certainly don’t wake up every day feeling that it’s a fresh start and a beautiful day. (Though I should.) Unlike most of the roles I’ve played in the past, I wasn’t able to channel that mood and anxiety into the character and had to get into a different frame of mind. As for similarities, Chuck lets me express the fun, quirky side of my personality.
