After starring in TV series such as Casualty, Fresh Meat and Misfits, British actor Osy Ikhile is set for stardom after landing a number of big screen roles.

In 2013 the up-and-coming star wrapped filming on Owen Harris's dark comedy Kill Your Friends, alongside Nicholas Hoult, and in the same year landed a supporting role in Ron Howard's film In the Heart of the Sea opposite Ben Whishaw, Chris Hemsworth and Cillian Murphy. Both projects are set for release in 2015. 2014 has proved equally busy; Ikhile recently completed his directorial debut Clap! and is also shooting the 3D action film Tarzan, alongside Alexander SkarsgÄrd and Margot Robbie, throughout the autumn.
