Philip Glenister: Life On Mars tag forever in my Genes - Interview

Philip Glenister says playing tough-talking fictional detective Gene Hunt has been 'more a help than a hindrance' to his career, but he is not sure it would be 'wise' to resurrect the character. The British actor said portraying the foul-mouthed chief inspector in Life On Mars was similar to James Bond actors who will 'always be associated' with the role. Glenister, 52, starred as DCI Hunt in the BBC One drama which ran from 2006 to 2007, before playing the same character in the follow-up Ashes To Ashes from 2008 to 2010.
