At the age of seven, Dexter moved to London with his family where he studied law at the University College London, before embarking on a career in comedy.

Felix first came to the public's attention in the early 90s when he appeared in the ground breaking "black and Asian" sketch show The Real McCoy, playing a variety of characters, and when it finished we worked with him on a pilot for his own show, Felix Dexter on TV. He was typically brilliant in this, but the BBC never picked it up for a series and after that Felix appeared mainly in cameo roles on other people's shows, including Absolutely Fabulous (2003, as John Johnston, father of Saffy's baby), The Lenny Henry Show and, most recently, Adil Ray's Citizen Khan (2012-13, as Omar).
