Kevin Corbishley: Ghosts Actor & His Role in Call the Midwife

Okay, let’s talk about Kevin Corbishley. If you haven’t heard of him yet, I wouldn’t blame you—he’s still flying under the radar for many, even though he’s been quietly sneaking into your living room via two major shows: Ghosts and Call the Midwife. You might know him as the quirky ghost on the BBC’s supernatural sitcom, or maybe as the understated character in Call the Midwife who always makes you pause and think, “Who’s that guy?” In this article, I’m diving deep into the roles Kevin has played, and trust me, you’re going to want to stick around for this.

The Man Behind the Characters

Kevin Corbishley’s early life? Well, let’s just say he didn’t roll out of bed and land a TV role—nope, this man cut his teeth in the world of theater first. And if you’ve ever seen him perform, you know that this background shows. He’s got that ability to dig into a character, creating a depth that feels almost too real. Like, you’re watching him and thinking, “Wait, is he acting, or is he just really that good at being a human?”

Honestly, it’s this theatrical experience that lets Kevin bring something special to both Ghosts and Call the Midwife. But let’s not get too philosophical about it. The real question is: what makes Kevin stand out? Spoiler alert: He does more than just show up and say lines.

Kevin Corbishley: The Ghost Whisperer in Ghosts

Alright, let’s talk about Ghosts. If you haven’t watched the show, it’s time to remedy that. In a nutshell, Ghosts is a quirky little show where a group of spirits haunt an old house, each with their own hilarious and tragic backstory. Now, Kevin isn’t the lead, but that’s kind of his thing—being the guy who’s just a little bit extra, but not too much to steal the spotlight. You know the type.

His ghost character is actually really interesting. Kevin plays the role with this deadpan humor that doesn’t feel forced. It’s like he’s been dead for centuries, but still has this relatable human side to him. He’s not just a wacky, transparent figure floating around. Oh no, he’s a ghost with feelings, man. He can make you laugh one second and have you thinking “Wow, that’s deep” the next. Kinda like how I felt after eating a whole pizza at 3 AM—conflicted emotions.

The whole dynamic of Ghosts thrives on the tension between comedy and more genuine, sometimes heartbreaking moments. Kevin Corbishley’s character—let’s call him “The Ghost That Almost Gets It”—is a key part of this delicate balance. Sure, he’s funny, but you can sense there’s more brewing underneath. It’s like he’s constantly trying to make peace with his past…or maybe trying to figure out how to avoid haunting the same old house for eternity.

Fast forward past three failed attempts to watch anything that requires more than 15 minutes of focus (thanks, TikTok), and you’ll find that Kevin’s portrayal keeps things grounded. His ghost isn’t some over-the-top character who throws chains around and moans. He’s real, which makes the show hit harder when it does get serious.

Kev Corbishley in ***Call the Midwife*: The Unseen Hero**

Okay, let’s pause and shift gears. We’re talking about Call the Midwife now. So, yeah, Ghosts is where Kevin’s got his supernatural groove on, but Call the Midwife? That’s where his dramatic chops come in. The series is a period drama that takes place in London’s East End during the ’50s and ’60s, following a group of midwives as they navigate life, death, and everything in between. Kevin’s role isn’t flashy—but, boy, does he make it matter.

Now, let me set the scene for you: you’re watching Call the Midwife, and there’s a quiet moment. No big drama, no crazy plot twist—just Kevin’s character quietly interacting with the world around him. In these subtle moments, Kevin’s talent really shines. He doesn’t need to be the center of attention to make an impact; his ability to convey so much with so little is almost eerie. A glance, a pause, a subtle shift in his voice—it all carries weight.

Fun fact: Call the Midwife does this magical thing where every character feels like they belong in the world they’re in. And Kevin’s role—though not a leading man—adds a layer of authenticity that makes the entire ensemble feel cohesive. If you’ve ever watched a period drama and thought, “That guy looks like he’d actually be hanging around in 1960s London,” then Kevin’s role is exactly that.

One of the cool things about the show is that it’s about real people with real struggles. Kevin Corbishley’s character isn’t just a plot device; he’s part of the heartbeat of the series. As much as I’m here for the big dramatic moments (I live for a good crying scene), sometimes it’s the little, quieter moments that hit hardest—and Kevin nails those.

The Man Who Does It All

So here’s the kicker: Kevin’s not just your run-of-the-mill actor who can only do one thing. Nope. He’s one of those rare gems who can move from being a laugh-out-loud ghost to a serious, emotionally complex character in a period drama. I mean, that’s some next-level versatility right there.

I’ve always been a sucker for actors who can pull off both comedy and drama. It’s like, pick a lane, right? But Kevin doesn’t. He just swerves between genres like it’s no big deal. One moment, you’re laughing at his ghost antics, and the next, you’re holding your breath during a more serious Call the Midwife scene. How does he do it? No idea. But it’s awesome to watch.

Here’s a little fun tidbit: Kevin’s got a knack for leaving you wanting more. I’m not even kidding. Every time I finish an episode of either show, I catch myself thinking, “Wait, was that really all we got from Kevin?” It’s like he’s just teasing you, drawing you into his world, making you wish for more screen time from his characters. (And I need more, okay?)

What’s Next for Kevin Corbishley?

So, what’s next for Kevin? Good question. If you’re like me, you’re probably already Googling “Kevin Corbishley future projects” while sipping your iced coffee and pretending you’re on top of things. Will he return to Ghosts for another haunting season? Will he pop back into Call the Midwife for a more intense storyline? Or maybe he’ll surprise us with something totally unexpected. Either way, I’m in.

Because Kevin Corbishley? He’s got the talent, the range, and the mystique that makes him an actor you want to keep an eye on. Whether it’s making you laugh with a deadpan ghost or making you tear up with his understated roles in Call the Midwife, there’s no doubt he’s carving out a niche for himself in British television.
