Jack McMullen is best known for his roles in Grange Hill, Brookside and The Street. He has also made appearances in Doctors and The Bill.
In Dress To Impress by Arthur Ellison, Jack plays Daniel, a normal happy-go-lucky teenager with a secret – he loves dressing up in women's clothes.
"He's not a transvestite, he's a cross-dresser," says Liverpool-born Jack. "He likes the feel of women's clothes and how women dress, their make-up and how they look."
Arthur Ellison, writer of Dress To Impress, has written for Jack in the past and he was his first choice to play the part of Daniel.
"Because Arthur's written for me before, I think he thought I'd play the role how he wanted," says Jack. "I wouldn't be an actor coming along with his own adaptation."
Moving On has attracted a high-profile cast for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One Daytime. Jack explains what it was like to bea young actor working with more experienced actors such as Ian Hart and Dervla Kerwin:
"It's quite intimidating. You understand on set how fantastic they really are, for example just how quickly they change their whole personality when they're acting. You have to try and not be in awe of them while you're acting because otherwise you'll shy away on set and not perform to your best.
"It's a great experience for me. It's wonderful to feed off that. It helps you grow and get better."
Dress To Impress by Arthur Ellison is episode four of Moving On, a new series of five unique contemporary dramas starring Shelia Hancock, Ian Hart, Richard Armitage, Mark Womack and Lesley Sharp and executive produced by Jimmy McGovern (The Street) for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One Daytime.
