Career

On playing the role, Homer told the Huffington Post in 2016: "My biggest challenge was making Tony Hills as believable as I could I used to get so many letters from vulnerable teenagers who felt totally alone in the world. All of a sudden there was a person on the telly who they could identify with. I felt some kind of pressure to make sure everything was well represented. It was too important to get wrong."
