The Wire star Dominic West has been announced as a new ambassador for Julian House, a charity that supports homeless people.

The British actor commented 'I moved to Bath five years ago and it's not the sort of place you would expect to see the problem of homelessness, so it is rather shocking seeing this extent of the issue in a prosperous place like Bath. I think the shock of that and seeing what great work Julian House does, made me want to do something to help if I can'.
