The Actor • Tony shalhoub • Was born on october9,1953 • played Adrian monk in the TV series monk • Adrian monk was a renowned homicide detective for the san Francisco police department • He suffers from obsessive –compulsive disorder and multiple phobias • These intensified after the murder of his wife Trudy which resulted in his suspension from the department • based character on his own personal life
Why I chose this actor? • I chose this actor because the monk in Canterbury tales and the Monk in the TV series share the same name. Neither of the two perform religious beliefs like a normal monk was supposed to.
