Bruno Langley

Bruno Langley (born 21 March 1983) is an English musician and former actor. He is known for his roles as Todd Grimshaw in Coronation Street (over 700 episodes between 2001 and 2017) and Adam Mitchell in Doctor Who (2005).

In October 2017, a spokesman for the show confirmed that Langley's Coronation Street contract had been terminated. Greater Manchester Police later announced he had been charged with two counts of sexual assault, to both of which he pleaded guilty on 28 November 2017; he was sentenced to a 12-month community order.

In 2021, Langley announced his intention to pursue his musical aspirations by releasing his first recordings.

Langley was born to Australian parents in Somerset and grew up in Buxton, Derbyshire. He attended Harpur Hill Primary School and Buxton Community School. He trained at the North Cheshire Theatre School in Heaton Moor. Along with his sisters, he was a member of a number of junior string orchestras in which he played cello.

From 2001 to 2004, Langley played the character of Todd Grimshaw in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street. As the first openly gay character on the show, Langley developed a large gay following.

He had also appeared in Coronation Street on 4 August 2000 as Darren Michaels, then boyfriend of Candice. He also had a semi-regular role from 2001 to 2002 in Linda Green as Philip "Fizz" Green, the eponymous character's younger brother.

While on leave from Coronation Street, he has played roles such as the part of Adam Mitchell in the 2005 series of Doctor Who appearing in two episodes, "Dalek" and "The Long Game", and provided an audio commentary for the DVD of these episodes. He also filmed a small role in the feature film The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse, released in June 2005, as well an episode of Dalziel and Pascoe and the little-seen film Halal Harry in 2006, and read Horace for BBC Radio 7.

He returned to Coronation Street for a twelve-episode guest stint in 2007. In April 2011 Langley returned to Coronation Street for a one episode appearance. In June 2013 it was announced that Langley was returning to Coronation Street as a regular character and his character returned in the episodes screened on 4 November. However, following his sexual assault charges, Langley's contract with Coronation Street was terminated in October 2017.
