Stephen Mangan is an English actor, best known for his roles as Guy Secretan in the television series Green Wing, Dan Moody in I'm Alan Partridge, Sean Lincoln in Episodes and holistic detective Dirk Gently in Dirk Gently.
Mangan was born in Winchmore Hill, North London, to Irish Catholic parents from the west coast of Ireland. He has two sisters, Anita and Lisa.
Mangan was educated at two independent schools for boys: at Lochinver House School, in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire and Haileybury and Imperial Service College (now co-educational), a famous boarding school in the village of Hertford Heath (also in Hertfordshire), in the same year as Dom Joly. After gaining a Bachelor of Arts in Law at Gonville and Caius College at the University of Cambridge, where his friends included Rachel Weisz and Sue Perkins, Mangan took a year out to nurse his mother, Mary, who died of colon cancer at age 45. Weeks after her death, he auditioned for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He graduated from RADA in July 1994. His father James died of a brain tumour at age 63.
