Rising British actor Tom Prior inked with UK agency Independent Talent Group in November, joining the likes of Ben Kingsley, Alan Rickman, Andrea Riseborough and Sheridan Smith.

Prior is now set to make the transition from theatre - where he enjoyed a lead part in the National Youth Theatre's Tory Boyz - to the big screen, landing a role in Matthew Vaughn's 2015 feature film The Secret Service, and starring as Robert Hawking in the upcoming Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything.
