New EastEnders star Roland Manookian, who joined the soap at the end of June, has arrived in Albert Square as Billy Mitchell’s long lost brother Teddy.
As well as appearing in The Football Factory, the Guy Ritchie movie Rocknrolla and crime thriller Piggy, Roland had a role in the 2007 movie Rise of the Footsoldier, starring as Craig Rolfe, and has also appeared in the movie’s four sequels – including 2019’s Rise of the Footsoldier: Marbella, which featured The Only Way Is Essex star Jessica Wright in a small role.
While the first two movies focused on Carlton Leach, the later films are prequels about Tucker and Tate, and Rise of the Footsoldier: Marbella follows Tate to Spain where he asks Roland’s character Craig to deliver cash from Essex to close a drug deal. Jess Wright, in her only acting role to date, has a small role as a girl in Amsterdam who Craig meets on his travels.“If you were to say to me nine months ago that I’d be joining EastEnders , I wouldn’t have believed you,” says Roland.
