British actor
Born: February 15, 1990
Callum was born in London and grew up on a Chelsea estate—he is a huge Chelsea football fan—where, he claimed in a 2014 interview, “I learned more from films than I did through life itself.” Six feet two inches tall, he decided to go into acting at age eighteen, taking some courses and working as a model for Burberry, fronting their 2011 campaign photographed by Mario Testino. While continuing to take acting lessons, he was cast by John Boorman to play the director’s younger self in “Queen and Country,” the sequel to “Hope and Glory,” in 2012, though it was over a year before the project got off the ground. In the meantime, he appeared opposite Helen McCrory in “Leaving,” a television drama about a middle-aged woman’s affair with a younger man. On the strength of this and the eventual release of “Queen and Country,” Screen International declared him one of its Stars of Tomorrow in 2014. In 2014 he also appeared in Channel 4’s drama serial ‘Glue’, as one of a group of youngsters investigating the death of Callum’s brother in a community of travelers and in early 2016 he could be seen as part of the huge ensemble cast in the BBC TV adaptation of ‘War and Peace.’

- I never went to drama school. It’s a brilliant thing for the right type of person, but I threw myself in the deep end.
- It’s cool to be nervous, and how the nerves come out sideways. That’s why some actors scream their heads off, or it comes out in their hair.
- I hate horror movies. I get really scared, and I don’t want to be scared. I don’t know why, but I’m one of those people who gets frightened and can’t go to sleep.
- Imagining what a character will do in a given situation – it’s like an equation, and working it out is a marathon rather than a sprint.
