I just watched 'This is England' and this guy really stood out! The whole cast was fantastic but he was probably my favourite character. Great actor, hope to see more of him on the big screen!

Thornton, Darcy, Lefroy

He looks so much better as a skin head. I like that he portrayed them as being really nice kids instead of lumping them all into the violent/racist catagory.

He's a wonderful actor, what is he doing in Emmerdale? Get him out now!!!

I totally agree with you there that's above me...although he is the ONLY decent thing in Emmerdale at the moment.

i never even recognised him until i saw on his imdb profile he is eli from emmardale as well.

I once punched a guy out for saying that "Hawk the Slayer" was rubbish

I agree with all of you. I could've sworn I recognized him, but I haven't seen any of his other work. Maybe he just reminds me of someone else?

Anyway, I loved the movie, and his character was my favorite.
