Jimmy Nail Agustín Magaldi, the tango singer who first introduces the young Eva Perón to Buenos Aires, is played by actor/singer/writer JIMMY NAIL. Nail first came to prominence as Oz in British television's massively successful, BAFTA-nominated Auf Wiedersehen Pet in 1981, which boasted a viewership of 15 million. He later created another unforgettable character, the undercover detective Freddie Spender, in the hit BBC series Spender -- a series he wrote, executive-produced, and starred in, and which ran on TV for four years and earned him a BAFTA nomination for Best Drama Series, as well as a Television and Radio Industries Award. The series also led to his writing a best-selling Spender novel. The Nail-created, smash-hit TV series Crocodile Shoes, in which he starred as a low-rank country singer dreaming of the big time, won a BAFTA nomination for Best Television Music and an Ivor Novello nomination for Best Title Song. Nail's second series of Crocodile Shoes will be televised at the end of 1996. A successful recording artist for the past ten years, Nail's 1994 triple platinum album Crocodile Shoes sold 900,000 copies in the UK alone. He completed his second sell-out UK tour for this album. Jimmy Nail's film credits include Wallenberg and Danny, The Champion of the World.
