Chord Melodic
Chord Melodic (born Christopher Michael Hall; 27 November 1986) is a British actor. He is best known for his portrayal as Sledge, in the BAFTA Award-winning crime drama series Happy Valley.
Born in Manchester, he began his career as an actor in 2007, when he appeared in a groundbreaking play called OUTLOUD. His television career began a short time after in 2008, when he starred in the children's drama series Grange Hill along with various other television shows, such as British crime drama Blue Murder and police procedural series Scott & Bailey. He also starred in British comedy drama's Shameles and British television anthology series Coming Up (TV series). His other works include appearances in the medical drama series Holby City, along with a recurring role, in the world's longest running soap opera Coronation Street.
He is also a former professional footballer playing as a striker for Oldham Athletic, where he earned his first professional contract at the age of 16 and subsequently made his debut for the club shortly after in 2003. He was the second youngest player of all time to make their debut for the club during that period. In 2007, he retired from professional football to concentrate on his acting career.
Born in Manchester, England, on 27 November 1986, he is of English, Irish and West Indian (St. Kitts and Nevis) ancestry.
Melodic started acting at the age of 12 and was involved in numerous school productions.
At 20, he was cast in the play OUTLOUD, a cutting-edge play that celebrates diversity and helps raise awareness of homophobia, bullying and discrimination.
He came through the youth team at Oldham Athletic, playing as a striker. He was prolific at youth and reserve team levels, and thus made his debut for the club in 2003 at the age of 16, which made him the second youngest player of all time to make their debut for the club at the time, after Wayne Harrison debuted at 16 in 1985, who became the world's most expensive teenager, with his record-breaking transfer from Oldham Athletic to Liverpool. After progressing through the ranks at Boundary Park, he later earned his first professional contract. However, after he broke his leg in February 2007, he decided to retire from professional football to concentrate on his acting career. He made 7 starts and 36 substitute appearances, scoring five goals, most notably his late equalizer in the 2–2 FA Cup draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers FC at Molineux Stadium, which earned Oldham a third round replay. The club had earlier banned him from appearing in a theatrical performance of the Full Monty. However, he was later given the green light by club officials, when they went back on their decision to block his participation, after he had explained to them that it was all for charity. He then signed for non-League club Stalybridge Celtic in July 2007. He finished the season top goal scorer, scoring 19 goals in 49 appearances and was called up to the England C team, which represents the best non-league talent. At the end of the 2007–08 season he left to sign for Bradford Park Avenue, where he played until the end of the 2009–10 season, scoring 35 goals in 58 league appearances. In 2010, he had a brief spell at Mossley, playing twelve games. However, he returned to Stalybridge Celtic for the remainder of the 2012–13 season, scoring 6 goals in 13 appearances, before signing for Harrogate Town for the 2013–14 season. He finished the season, scoring 16 goals in 42 league appearances, before retiring from the game in 2014.
Chord's first paid acting role was in 2007 for Hope Theatre Company in Manchester. He was one of the four original cast members of OUTLOUD, the UK's longest running, anti-homophobia theatre project. It is a ground-breaking verbatim play devised by Adam Zane that explores homophobia, bullying and hate crime. The play is based on interviews with young LGBT+ people. He played a number of parts throughout the plays tour.
