A former warehouse worker, Lee became an actor after appearing in the Channel 5 documentary, Football Hooligans, using that experience to inspire him to want to inspire others. He became a professional actor within 17 months, going on to be signed by JCM Management.

‘Spoken Silence’ was Lee’s first attempt at screenwriting, and was released on 1 March 2021.

A funeral service will take place on Friday 18 June at 2.20pm at Rochdale Crematorium.
