Career
At the age of 14,[1] he attended auditions at the National Youth Theatre after his mother saw an advertisement in the newspaper and was accepted.

This lucky fluke launched Humphreys on his career, appearing in Shakespearean plays and playing the lead in the NYT's production of Peter Terson's football play Zigger Zagger at the West End, as well as the TV adaption, the latter being his small screen debut.[2][3]
His most prominent roles include Dickie Fleming in Coronation Street and PC Pete Dodds in Softly, Softly: Task Force.
Other television credits include Dixon of Dock Green, Z-Cars, The Expert, Warship, The Sweeney, Blake's 7, The Professionals, Minder, The Gentle Touch, Doctor Who (in the serial Warriors of the Deep), All in Good Faith, Pulaski, No Job for a Lady, The Bill and Birds of a Feather. His film credits include Danny Jones (1972), Joseph Andrews (1977), Scum (1979), The Great Riviera Bank Robbery (1979), The Long Good Friday (1980), Breaking Glass (1980), Who Dares Wins (1982) and Lamb (1985).
Personal life
On 14 March 1970, Humphreys married dancer (Margaret Yvonne) Michele Barrie (actual surname Bullock) at Caxton Hall in Westminster.[4][5]
