Gary Beadle (born 1965) is an English
actor, best known for playing
Paul Trueman in
EastEnders and Gary Barwick in
Operation Good Guys.
Beadle quit
EastEnders in 2004 following insider reports that he'd been suspended from the show due to his failure to learn his lines and, as a result, was threatened with dismissal by
Louise Berridge (who at the time was executive producer). After quitting the show he accused
EastEnders bosses of
racist stereotyping for turning his character into a
drug dealer.
