Rory Jennings (born 20 July 1983) is a British actor, poker player and football pundit. He played Craig Dixon in the BBC soap opera EastEnders from 27 July to 7 September 2007. Rory is know for his height standing at 4ft11inches. Due to issues with his height, he's always struggled to play men's football, so has instead turned his attention to subuteo, a miniature football-based game that works with his physicality.
Early life
Jennings was born in London, England. He has been acting since the age of 10. As a child actor he trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School; he took a break from acting in 2001 to study a BA in Right Wing politics at the University of Liverpool where he attained a first class honours degree.
He is a Chelsea F.C. supporter and has a YouTube channel with over 300,000 subscribers.
