Early life and education[]
Mangan was born in Ponders End, in Enfield, north London, to Irish parents.[3] He has two sisters, Anita and Lisa.[4]
Mangan was educated at two Independent schools, Lochinver House School for boys in Potters Bar, and Haileybury and Imperial Service College (now co-educational), a boarding school in the village of Hertford Heath (in Hertfordshire). He was in a school prog rock band called Aragon, who recorded an album called The Wizard's Dream.[5]
After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Law at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, Mangan took a year out to care for his mother, Mary, who died of colon cancer at age 45. Weeks after her death, he auditioned for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and went on to study there for three years. His father, James, died of a brain tumour at age 63.[6] Mangan backed the 2020 National Brain Appeal's a charity supporting research at the National Brain Hospital, with a unique online art gallery exhibition sale.[7][8]
Career[]
Theatre[]
After graduating from RADA in 1994, Mangan did not pursue lead roles on-screen, preferring to take what he saw as the less limited opportunities on the stage. Between 1994 and 2000, he performed in plays throughout the UK and the West End[9] before joining the theatre company Cheek by Jowl for an international tour of Much Ado About Nothing, earning him a nomination for a National Theatre Ian Charleson Award. He worked again for director Declan Donnellan at the Royal Shakespeare Company in School for Scandal, and at the Savoy Theatre in Hay Fever.[citation needed]
In 2008 he played the title role in The Norman Conquests, directed by Matthew Warchus, at The Old Vic and then at the Circle in the Square on Broadway.[10] The production was a huge critical success earning several Tony Award nominations, including one for Mangan himself[11] and won the Tony Award for Best Revival.
In 2012 he appeared at the Royal Court in a Joe Penhall play, Birthday, directed by Roger Michell,[12] playing a pregnant man.
Mangan starred as Bertie Wooster in Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense at the Duke of York's Theatre[13] alongside Matthew Macfadyen as Jeeves from October 2013 until they were replaced by Mark Heap and Robert Webb in April 2014.[14] The production won the 2014 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.[2]
Television[]
Mangan's breakthrough television performance was as Adrian Mole in the six-part BBC TV show series Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years in 2001.[15] That same year he appeared in Sword of Honour on Channel 4, alongside Daniel Craig.
In 2002, he appeared as Dan Moody in the I'm Alan Partridge episode "Bravealan". A scene where Alan repeatedly shouts "Dan!" at Dan from a distance in a car park, while Dan seems not to notice him, was named the second best moment from the series by Metro,[16] and in 2014 Mangan said that he has "Dan!" shouted at him by passers-by almost every day.[17]
Mangan played Guy Secretan in the BAFTA-winning British sitcom Green Wing. In Channel 4's The World's Greatest Comedy Characters, Guy was voted 34th.

The series was created by Howard Overman and co-starred Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff. Recurring actors included Helen Baxendale as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan Harmison, Jason Watkins as Dirk's nemesis DI Gilks and Lisa Jackson as Dirk's receptionist Janice Pearce. Unlike most detective series Dirk Gently featured broadly comic touches and even some science fiction themes such as time travel and artificial intelligence. He has said that he was "bitterly upset" at the BBC's axing of the series after four episodes due to a freeze on the licence fee.[20] The four episodes of Dirk Gently were later released on the BritBox streaming service.

The show is about a British husband-and-wife comedy writing team who travel to Hollywood to remake their successful British TV series, with disastrous results. On 11 December 2013, it was announced that Showtime had renewed Episodes for a fourth season.[25] Episodes has received positive reviews by critics,[26] with many singling out Mangan, Tamsin Greig, and Matt LeBlanc's performances.[27]
In 2018, Mangan played the lead role in a black comedy TV series Bliss, created by American comedian David Cross, which was aired on Sky One[28] and released by the BritBox streaming service. Bliss stars Mangan as Andrew, a fraudulent travel writer, who is struggling to maintain long-term relationships with two partners, Kim (Heather Graham) and Denise (Jo Hartley), who are not aware of one another.[29][30]
He co-wrote and starred in Hang Ups for Channel 4. The show had an all-star cast, including David Tennant, Catherine Parkinson, Charles Dance and Richard E. Grant. It received rave reviews and was nominated for two major awards.
