Graduated from the University of London with a degree in drama and theatre.

Born in Burton-Upon-Trent, England, and grew up in Dubai.

Got his first break when he was cast in the role of Adam in director Ed Hall's theatre production of "Enlightenment".

I've always wanted to do pieces that have an integral sense of realism, and aren't just there for titillation.

There's nothing in 'Copper' that is there only for the purpose of having explosions and sex and drugs and violence, but it's all there as part of this incredibly complicated story. It's very watchable and heartbreaking and visceral.

[on 'Copper'] It makes me realize how brief life is, and how putting cultures so close together, and jigsawing them and squeezing them to fit, can be incredibly explosive at times. In modern day we live in a place where everyone seems to be quite civil, and differences actually are seen as a very beautiful thing rather than a conflicting thing. But when you throw poverty and different elements in there, people really show their true colors.
