SHOCKING NEWS!!! Here’s where you’ve seen EastEnders’ Pastor Clayton actor before

According to IMDb, his first credited role was as a paramedic in ITV continuing drama The

Bill in 1993, returning to Sun Hill police station seven years later in a separate part.

He then appeared as DC Chambers in two series of Children’s BBC soap opera Grange Hill in

1995.

Returning to kids TV in 2001, he played an estate agent in supernatural series Ghost Hunter.

He also starred as Oliver in hit Ricky Gervais comedy The Office.

Following this he joined the cast of much missed Channel 5 show Family Affairs, which was set in the fictional London suburb of Charnam, appearing as Les Boulter for two years.

Throughout his career he’s appeared in a number of soaps, including Doctors and Holby City.

Has Howard Saddler appeared in EastEnders before?

In December 2002, he made a guest appearance as a separate character that is worlds away from his role as Gideon Clayton.

When Jamie Mitchell (Jack Ryder) was rushed to hospital after being hit by Martin Fowler’s (then James Alexandrou) car, Howard’s character Dr Daniel Rodford was the one who treated him.

It proved to be one of EastEnders most memorable storylines, as the incident resulted in Jamie’s death.
