Andy Hockley is a Welsh actor and singer born in 1959 in Pontypridd, Glamorgan.

He has performed extensively in theatres around the UK for nearly 30 years. Internationally his work has taken him to Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, Ireland and Singapore.^{[citation needed]}

On television, he is best known as Mr Jolly of the Roundabout Stop in the BBC's iconic children's programme Playdays. He recorded two series in the mid-'90s and starred in a special feature episode for VHS and was, in fact, the last Mr Jolly before the programme ended in 1997.

He has appeared in 16 pantomimes at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, latterly as Dame. He also voiced Imp Y Celyn and Adult Tomjon in Cosgrove Hall's adaptations of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters, as the Wizard of Oz in the West End production of Wicked, and Monsieur Firmin in Cameron Mackintosh's 25th Anniversary tour of 'The Phantom of the Opera'.

Since March 2017 he has played the part of building contractor and modern slaver Philip Moss on the long-running BBC Radio 4 drama The Archers. He had already appeared in the programme in a variety of other roles including "a bogus removal man " in 1987, two policemen, "an unsavoury debt-collector" and an RSPCA inspector, and "supplied the panting sounds for Jack Woolley's dog Captain".^[1]
