Eamonn Walker was born in London on June 12, 1962, to a Trinidadian mother and a Grenadian father, in Islington, London. He spent the first nine years of his life in London and developed immense affection for the art of dancing.

Subsequently, he moved to Trinidad for six months with his parents. He finished his school from ‘Hungerford School’ in London, and started learning dance as he entered teenage. He desperately wanted to make a career in dance and trained very hard for that to happen.

As for other extracurricular activities, the close relationship between acting and dance on stage compelled him to give acting a try in the school theatrical productions. Once he graduated from high school, he started studying social work at the ‘University of North London.’ Keen on becoming a professional dancer, he joined the ‘Explosive Dance Theatre Company,’ where he learned the finer nuances of acting and dance.

However, his luck was not on his side, and he injured his leg during a performance and had to undergo an operation. He was told that he would never be able to dance again, which broke him emotionally. He tried to pursue a career in social studies but ultimately decided on taking up acting as a profession.

He moved to the United States and enrolled at the ‘New York Film Academy,’ where he learned filmmaking and screenwriting. At the academy, he studied under the mentorship of acclaimed screenwriter Lynda La Plante and actor Robert David MacDonald. Soon after he graduated, he moved back to London and started working in theater productions.

Walker made his professional acting debut on stage in 1983, when he played a punk rocker in the musical ‘Labelled with Love.’ For the next two years, he appeared in a few more theatrical productions, before finally making his TV debut in 1985, with the series ‘Dempsey and Makepeace.’ He had a small role in the series.

He also appeared in the children’s series ‘Dramarama.’ He received immense recognition as a gay man in the ‘BBC One’ series ‘In Sickness and in Health.’ This was followed by smaller roles in the series ‘The Bill,’ ‘Tales of the Unexpected,’ and ‘Bulman.’ The 80s did not yield enough success for the talented actor, but the 90s were a different story.

He made his film debut with the 1991 film ‘Young Soul Rebels,’ which featured the different cultural movements prevalent in the English society at that time. In 1992, he appeared in major roles in the series ‘The Old Boy Network’ and ‘Love Hurts,’ both of which received significant critical acclaim.

During the mid-90s, he exhibited his comic timing in his appearances on comedy shows such as ‘Goodnight Sweetheart,’ ‘Birds of a Feather,’ and ‘One Foot in the Grave.’

In the mid-90s, he moved to Los Angeles to start a career in Hollywood, and in 1997, he made his American TV debut, with the series ‘Supply & Demand.’
