William Roache, MBE (born April 25, 1932) is a British television actor, who plays the part of 'Ken Barlow' in the long-running soap opera, Coronation Street. He is the only remaining member of the original cast, having appeared in the first episode in 1960.
Although widely believed to be the longest-serving actor ever on a television series, the record is actually held by Helen Wagner, who has played matriarch 'Nancy Hughes' on As the World Turns since April 2, 1956, that soap's debut date.
His son is the actor, Linus Roache.
