A former Coronation Street star looks absolutely unrecognisable in his new Amazon Prime role.

Scott Wright, who is now 50, portrayed Sam Kingston in the ITV soap from 2000-2002.

He was a builder, mechanic, and stripper who performed under the name The Masked Python.

During the short period of time Sam was in Weatherfield, he started a relationship with Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor). Once that fizzled out, Sam left the cobbles for Ibiza.

Two decades on from the soap role, Scott is now preparing for the release of an Amazon Prime thriller called The Stoic.

The actor looks worlds away from his Corrie character in these snaps and his role is pretty dark too, as he portrays a character who massacres a group of young traffickers.

The Stoic will be released on the streaming site next Monday and also stars the likes of Declan Fletcher, Pete John Mansfield and Mia Vore.

In present Coronation Street, Toyah’s love life continues to cause her problems. This year, she began an affair with Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), the partner of her sister Leanne (Jane Danson).

We also discovered a traumatic ordeal that happened to Toyah when she was a young adult.

Opening up to Nick, the character revealed after being raped by Phil Simmonds, she gave birth to a stillborn baby called Rose and buried her in the park.
