Scottish actor Alex Hope may only be 21 but that hasn't stopped him making a dramatic entrance on the theatre scene.

Before even graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in 2014, Hope had already been awarded the English Speaking Union Bursary for Achievement in Shakespeare thanks in part to his performances in the Bard's plays, including Twelfth Night. Not just adept at memorising lines, the Scot is a skilled guitarist, pianist and singer as demonstrated in his roles for First Episode and Spring Awakening. Currently touring the UK in Alan Bennett's production of The History Boys, expect this thespian to soon make the leap from the stage to the small screen.
