George Christopher (born George Wilson, 5 March 1970) is a British actor.
He is best known for his teenage role as Liverpudlian scamp Ziggy Greaves in Grange Hill, a role he played from 1986 to 1989. The character was a hit with viewers, and Wilson himself has compared his alter-ego with the series' original hero, Tucker Jenkins.[1]
After Grange Hill, Wilson took on another high-profile role in the Channel 4 soap Brookside, as Little Jimmy Corkhill. He played the drug addict son of Jimmy Corkhill senior.
George has since taken on a variety of stage and film roles, including a play about the Hillsborough disaster, which he has described as one of the hardest things he's ever had to do.[citation needed] He lives in Liverpool with his young son.
