Since joining Corrie four years ago, actor Trevor Michael Georges has become a huge part of Weatherfield life and Daily Star has taken a look inside the actor's life away from the cobbles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although Trevor is fondly known by fans as Weatherfield resident Ed, the actor has had roles in a number of rival soaps before his Corrie stint.<\/p>\n
He played Sergeant Cooper in BBC hospital drama Casualty in 2003, before playing a dad in EastEnders one year later in 2004.<\/p>\n
Trevor also appeared as Paul Kelly in Doctors in 2006, as well as Gareth Gannon in Holby City in 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
That's not all, as the actor also rose to fame in TV series such as The Ink Thief, opposite Crystal Maze legend Richard O' Brien in 1994, before landing huge roles in series including Whitechapel, People Just Do Nothing and Doctor Who – where he was the vicar at the ill-fated marriage of Catherine Tate's character Donna Noble.<\/p>\n
He also most recently appeared as Dayo Baako in Noughts And Crosses, as well as landing his now famous Coronation Street role in 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In 2020, Trevor's cobbles character Ed was the victim of racism, after he was targeted with vile comments by Don.<\/p>\n
Trevor has since spoken openly about the importance of tackling issues such as racism in storylines, as well as his own real life experiences of racism growing up.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Metro, he said: "The subject matter won\u2019t go away if we ignore it and many don\u2019t have anywhere to go to find a platform for reflection. It\u2019s also good for Coronation Street to stay grafted to the real world to maintain its own relevance."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Reflecting on experiences in his own life, he added: "A few weeks ago I went into my children\u2019s school to discuss issues one of my children was having regarding racist remarks made by one of their peers \u2013 more than 40 years after I suffered the same at school."<\/p>\n
He continued: "You can seldom fix anything over night but you can keep trying to heal a recurring sickness and I think that\u2019s the process we\u2019re part of."<\/p>\n

One gorgeous snap shows the family on holiday where he, his wife and daughter are smiling for the camera.<\/p>\n
He captioned the post: "Chilling with the clan in Frinton."<\/p>\n
