James Roache

From humble beginnings in the small town of Brierfield, Lancashire, England, the Royal House of Roache has grown to become a powerful dynasty of actors. Heading the illustrious family is William Patrick "Bill" Roache MBE, who has held the Guinness World Record for the longest-serving living television actor in a continuous role since his debut as Ken Barlow in Coronation Street in 1960. He is joined by his three children, Linus, Sara, and James, all of whom have made their own mark in the acting world. Linus Roache began his career at 11 and has since gone on to appear in a multitude of films and television series, while his sister, Sara, made her name in Coronation Street, Emmerdale Farm, and Juliet Bravo. Finally, James Roache has made his mark in films such as Rise of the Footsoldier and Four Seasons. The House of Roache is a testament to the true power of talent and hard work.
