One wrote: “Just looking on wikipedia and it says he is almost 60. Surely that’s wrong because he looks about 15 years younger than that.”
A second commented: “Blimey, he doesn’t look 60.”
Another added: “He had a recurring role in EastEnders in the early 00s and has barely aged a day since then.”
Roger’s acting career
Roger, who is well known for playing Mitch in EastEnders, had another role on the soap between 2004 and 2005 playing DI Christopher Riddick.
He also had roles in Family affairs and Holby City.
In 2018 he re-joined EastEnders as Karen Taylor’s ex-boyfriend and the father of two of her six children, Chantelle and Keegan.
Although it became clear from the off that he wasn’t there much for his kids growing up, he has become an important person in their lives.
Last year, Mitch returned to Albert Square with a little girl named Bailey, who he claimed to be his friend’s daughter. But he soon let slip that Bailey was actually his child.
It was revealed that the young girl was a carer for her mum Dinah, who suffered with multiple sclerosis.
Discovering the situation, Karen tried her best to help and even took in Bailey when Dinah died.
Roger and Bailey actress Kara-Leah Fernandes won Best On-screen Partnership at the British Soap Awards last year for their performances.
