Personal Life
Boyd is an only child. He began acting at age 17 in amateur theatre and performed in local productions from 1989 to 1995. He was accepted to drama school on two different occasions, but was unsuccessful in receiving a grant from his local council so was unable to accept the places. Boyd moved to London in his mid-twenties, upon being cast in the West End's Les Miserables. It was during this time he met fellow cast member Chris Langham who then wrote him into his new BBC comedy sitcom. Boyd currently lives in London with his wife, nutritional therapist Amanda Ashy-Boyd, whom he met in Los Angeles. His first child, Eliza Jane Ashy Boyd was born on 31st August 2012.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
