At fourteen whilst attending Padgate High, he joined a Warrington based acting course, culminating in a small performance at Warrington's Parr Hall where he was spotted by a North-West based acting agency. This led to an audition for the role of Sam 'O.B.' O'Brien in Channel 4 soap-opera 'Hollyoaks' in 1997, which he subsequently obtained. He was a prominent cast member in the show until 2007, when he announced he would be leaving the series in order to pursue other projects. [1]
Soon afterwards in 2008 he carved a successful presenting career alongside Hollyoaks co-star Matt Littler, but then in 2014 returned to performing, and began studying at The Manchester School Of Acting. As a result he has played lead roles in numerous Manchester theatre productions, including 'Senseless Romance', 'In Flame' and 'When Both Sides Surrender'. Towards the end of 2016 Darren returned to Hollyoaks and the role of Sam 'OB' O'Brien for an exclusive period.
