Lee Ingleby (born 28 January 1976) is a British film, television, and stage actor.
Ingleby was born in Burnley, Lancashire, in England. He is perhaps best known for his role as Stan Shunpike in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but he has made numerous appearances in British television drama and comedy in recent years. These include a lead role as Sean O'Neill in Jimmy McGovern's The Street, and a recurring role in the second series of Early Doors as Mel's boyfriend, Dean. In addition, he played a significant part in the final episode of series one of Life on Mars, playing Sam Tyler's father Vic, and made a memorable appearance in Spaced in 2001 (which was, along with Harry Potter, a rare occasion upon which he did not use his natural Northern accent, instead playing a Cockney).

[edit] Career
Ingleby studied at the Accrington and Rossendale College before progressing to the drama school LAMDA in London.
His first major role was as the young lead in the 2000 BBC miniseries Nature Boy, alongside Paul McGann. He played Smike in a 2001 television film version of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby which also starred James D'Arcy and Sophia Myles. In the 2002 theatrical release Borstal Boy, based very loosely on the life of Irish poet-activist Brendan Behan, Ingleby played a cruel bully in an English boarding school for juvenile offenders. He has also made one-off appearances in television programmes such as Hustle, Clocking Off, No Angels, Fat Friends, Jonathan Creek, Dalziel and Pascoe, Cadfael (Pilgrim of Hate) and The Bill. He has had supporting roles in films such as Gustave in Ever After alongside Drew Barrymore and as Hollom in the 2003 Peter Weir film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. In 2004 he had a small but pivotal role in the Orlando Bloom vehicle Haven, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival but was not commercially released until 2006, following heavy re-editing. He also guest-starred in the Doctor Who audio adventure, Terror Firma.
In 2001 he starred in and wrote the screenplay for the short film Cracks In The Ceiling, which he appeared in with his father, Gordon Ingleby.
One of his more recent projects was the 2006 television adaptation of The Wind in the Willows, in which he played Mole. It also starred Bob Hoskins as Badger, Matt Lucas as Toad, and Mark Gatiss as Ratty. He has played the role of DS John Bacchus in all the episodes of the BBC crime drama George Gently, and has also appeared in a modernised BBC adaptation of Rapunzel for the Fairy Tales series.
When not working in films and television, Ingleby remains active on the stage, where his credits include such diverse characters as Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream, Alexander in Nicholas Wright's Cressida, and Katurian in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman.
