John Savident definitely one for "I thought they were dead already" file.

My dad nearly ran him over many years ago when he walked into the street without looking. My dad also nearly ran over Noel Edmunds, who was arguing with his current girlfriend and not looking where he was going. If I remember any other celebs my dad nearly killed in his car, I'll post them here. 

My grandfather in law nearly ran over Greg Proops, and Jared Leto (not simultaneously).

Anyone else remember him being attacked in the 90s in Newcastle? 
 

Savident said he was giving him acting lessons in his hotel. Everyone else said he got beat up by a rent boy. 
 

Think he has his throat slashed too from what I remember 
 

Absolutely no recollection of that whatsoever but.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-150892/Man-jailed-stabbing-Street-star-Savident.html - who knew?

Everyone knew not to click on Daily Mail links Davey Numbers. I thought it was common knowledge. 

I know I know. I feel dirty. Even worse I found it via an old message board for petrolheads where they were discussing meeting Savident in a lift in New York, where they said "IT'S FRED!" and just got an evil glare from him. Google is a strange thing.

My dads mate nearly ran over Charles Hawtrey in the mid eighties when he stumbled in the road pissed.

My name is Ashley so I got that Fred Elliot joke a lot as a kid. 

Super fun actor to watch and was in loads of good stuff beyond Corrie obviously. But he was absolutely note perfect as Fred Elliot.

Was just at my parents and said to my dad “the actor who played Fred Elliot died”. He shouted through to my mum (a big Corrie fan) “Sal, John Sergeant is dead”

Did have to double check that one before making the correction.

The nightclub I used to work at went through a stage where they'd bring in soap stars as an attraction. A lot of them took themselves very seriously and were utterly humourless (cough.... Koss Remp ..... cough), but Savidant was an absolute star. 

Considering that he's naturally quite softly spoken, he had no reservations about putting on the Fred Elliot voice and announcing "I say, I'm not a fat bastard, I'm a fat cunt!", and then cosying up the naked lady painted to look like a can of red stripe.
