HOMETOWN:
Pimlico, South London. I’ve lived there my whole life. I went to Pimlico School. Nothing extravagant has happened; people have come and gone, memories have been made, the fun has been had.
EARLY AMBITIONS
I used to want to be an Olympian. I used to want to go to the Olympics and be a boxer. That was always my dream. I used to get up in the morning and think about boxing, go to sleep thinking about boxing, do my exams thinking about boxing. But I got an injury that kept me out for 16 months, and it was only in the 16 months that I happened to generate a love for acting.
INTRODUCTION TO ACTING
I did the National Theatre’s Connections festival [when I was younger]. I used to go to a small drama place, and every year a play would come through and we’d have the chance to perform it at a theater called the artsdepot. The opportunity to get a play from the National and do your own interpretation, that was awesome. It was the beginning of everything, really. It was what made me know that, “Yeah, this is quite enjoyable, and I’m alright at it.”
FIRST PROFESSIONAL ROLE
Silent Witness, 2015. I was with this tiny, tiny agency, and I had this headshot with a hood up. The character was very raw, and they were very open in the casting. I guess you could say they encouraged a form of street casting because they went to people who weren’t even on the radar.
I had to do a self-tape for it. I remember I was in the cinema so I didn’t look at my phone until the nighttime. I wasn’t used to getting auditions, and it had to be in early the next day. I woke my mum up, woke my sister up, and there we were, my mum, reading me the lines on my sister’s phone and my sister filming it.
It was crazy! I wrote my lines on pieces of paper and stuck them to my wall, so if I forgot it, I just looked straight ahead to my wall. I had two more auditions after that and then got it. It just snowballed from there, really. I couldn’t have asked for a better first job. It was such a close-to-home character.
It was a character that I could do, it was a character that came naturally for me, and a great team and a great show that has been going for years. Silent Witness will always have a place in my heart, as will Born to Kill. It’s all a journey. Where Silent Witness was the first one, Born to Kill was the first lead role, my first big shot. These jobs will always be in my heart.
FIRST BIG BREAK
[For Born to Kill,] I came in at the later stages. I had six auditions. It was certainly a grueling process. As time went on, I just wanted it more and more, to the point where I was giving everything. It would have been heartbreaking to not get it. For my second audition, they said, “Prepare well and we’ll pick out a few scenes for you to do.” I learnt every scene in episodes one and two that Sam was in, even if he only had two lines, just to show them that I wanted it and I was working hard for it. Learning it all by my own accord actually helped me. I was always prepared; I was always ready. And I thank them for giving it to me.
