Andrew Burt (born 23rd May 1945 in Wakefield, West Yorkshire) is an English actor, who has appeared in many British TV drama series from the 1970s to the present day. He is perhaps best known as the original Jack Sugden in Emmerdale Farm, a role he played from 1972 to 1974 (with a brief return in 1976), before handing over the character to another actor, Clive Hornby. He has also provided voice-overs for numerous commercials and he was a co-presenter of Yorkshire Television's pre-school series 'Stepping Stones' in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
