Actor Dennis tells of spy interview
Tuesday, 7 February 2012
The actor and comic, who first found fame as part of a duo with Steve Punt before going on to star in The Mary Whitehouse Experience, was approached while he was studying at Cambridge.
He told the Radio Times: "I went down to Carlton House Terrace [in Westminster] for an interview.
"I can't remember very much about it other than thinking I'd make a terrible spy. They did the normal, 'Are you homosexual?, Have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?' I recall this one man just stared at me silently for ages. And I thought, 'I don't think this is for me.'"
Dennis, who plays stressed-out father Pete Brockman in Outnumbered, eventually took a job as a management trainee with Unilever before getting his break in comedy.
