Steve McFadden (born 20th March 1959 in Maida Vale, London) is most famous for playing 'hard man' Phil Mitchell in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, a role he has portrayed since 1990. He also portrayed Phil in a cameo appearance in "Dimensions in Time," the Doctor Who/EastEnders cross-over sketch broadcast during the 1993 Children in Need charity drive to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of Doctor Who. In 2003 he left the soap for a year off doing pantomimes. In early 2005 he made a brief return and later, on 24th October 2005, he made another return to EastEnders for a permanent basis. He famously dated Lucy Benjamin, who played his on-screen girlfriend Lisa in EastEnders.
McFadden has been dogged by bad publicity during 2005. On 3rd November 2005, he was the victim of an assault, believed to have been perpetuated by his ex-partner, who earlier in the year had made claims about McFadden's private life in the tabloid press. The woman was released with a police caution. Apparently coincidentally, this incident took place on the same day that Ross Kemp, the other Mitchell brother in the series, was assaulted by his wife.
Steve McFadden has three children, Matthew, Teona and Mollie.
