Paul Seed: From Coronation Street to House of Cards

On April 7th, veteran British actor Paul Seed has passed away at the age of 78 after a long fight with cancer.

He died on March 7th, and his family shared the news through an obituary in the Guardian.

Seed first grabbed the tension playing the priest Father Harris on the long-running ITV soap coronation street.

After his soap days, Seed switched gears to directing and helmed the hit 1990 miniseries House of Cards, which became a massive success.

His early career included guest spots on shows like Z-Cars, Softly Softly, and even Dr. Who, building his rep in British Telly.

Born in Byteford, Devon, he headed north to study drama at the University of Manchester, graduating in 1970.

Fans remember him sharing scenes with coronation street icon Gail Tillsley during her son Nick's baptism storyline.

Seed's talent earned him two BAFTA awards, one for best single drama and a rather English marriage, and another for best drama with just William.

Those wins cemented his mark beyond acting.

His shift from screen to behind the camera left a blueprint for versatile careers in TV, reminding us how one role can launch a lifetime of influence.

That wraps entertainment and celebrity news today.
