- He attended Lewis School Pengam, Pengam, Caerphilly, South Wales.
- Was considered one of the 55 faces of the future by Nylon Magazine's Young Hollywood Issue (May 2010).
- He played the brother of Sophie Borja-Edwards's character in 'The Story of Tracy Beaker' and the brother of her sister Lucy Borja-Edwards's character in 'Young Dracula'.
- The 'Being Human' people were really cool and let me improvise. They had such a good working atmosphere. It was a cool set-up and a really good environment to be in.
- I'm getting a lot of stick because my character in 'Young Dracula' wanted to be vampire, so now that I am a vampire, everyone's like, 'You finally did it!' But it's cool and I loved doing 'Young Dracula.' That show's finished and I don't know why it ended, so it was brilliant to go into 'Being Human,' which is like the adult version of it.
- I'd love to pop back into 'Being Human' as Adam. I love the character so much. I've never really played a character like that. I'm always playing the geek, so to play a kid who is very energetic when he wants to be, and who is always trying to get the girls, was really cool.
- I would probably go so far as to say that I couldn't act before I met Richard Ayoade.
- I have, like, two best friends, one that I grew up with who's not an actor, and one that is an actor that lives near me in Wales, and they're my friends. I don't have any other friends, really, in the industry. I have acquaintances and people that I will go out for coffee with.
