As a young man, he became an Actor . He was not spectacularly successful, though he did hold down a role in '' Coronation Street '' for almost a year, as Gordon Clegg, from April 1968 to March 1969 , after brief stints in other shows, such as '' The Villains '' and '' The Liver Birds ''. It is said that Gordon Clegg is the only role he would ever act again, out of love for ''Coronation Street'' and its cast.

Kenwright is now a successful Theatrical producer, best known for the long-running West End hit '' Blood Brothers '' and the record breaking tour of '' Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat ''. Other recent productions have included West End runs of '' Whistle Down The Wind '' at the Palace Theatre , '' Festen '' in London, on a UK tour and now on Broadway, '' The Big Life '', '' Elmina's Kitchen '', '' Scrooge - The Musical'', '' The Night Of The Iguana '', ''A Few Good Men'', ''A Man For All Seasons'' alongside UK tours of '' Jesus Christ Superstar '', '' Tommy '', '' Whistle Down The Wind '', '' Tell Me On A Sunday '', ''Scrooge - The Musical'' and ''This Is Elvis''.

In the year 2000 he was awarded the CBE for his services to Film and theatre. He is currently linked with British actress Jenny Seagrove .

In 2004 he became Chairman of Everton , the football club he has supported all his life, succeeding Sir Phillip Carter in the role, who stepped down from his second stint as Everton Chairman, a position he had regained in the early 1990s.
