Nineties heartthrob Sean Maguire is set to make his UK television comeback this weekend in the popular BBC One crime drama Death In Paradise. Although Maguire has spent the past two decades living and working in Hollywood, fans of shows like Grange Hill and EastEnders still remember him fondly. Despite his success on screen, Maguire admits that he felt like a fraud during his pop star career in the Nineties. He released two albums but says he can't sing, write, or play music. Nevertheless, he's excited to return to the small screen for the 100th episode of Death In Paradise.
A successful transition from acting to music
After his stint on EastEnders, Maguire decided to pursue a career in music. He released two albums and even appeared on Top of the Pops. However, he says that he never felt like he had the talent to be a successful pop star. Despite this, he appreciates the support he received from fans and considers his time in the music industry to be a badge of honor.
A Hollywood career and an online acting school
Following his music career, Maguire made the move to Hollywood and found success in sitcoms, sci-fi series, and blockbuster movies. He even set up an online acting school called Players Conservator during the pandemic. However, the lure of Death In Paradise was too strong for Maguire to resist, and he's excited to return to the show for its 100th episode.
