Duayne Boachie might be new to the acting world, but he's already making himself known, having made an appearance in TV sitcom All About The Mckenzies in 2013, as well as being one half of north London comedy duo Don N Bowaa.

But it wasn't until he was in his second year studying Media Production at the University of Bedfordshire, that this newcomer's career really started to take off. After auditioning for a role in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, the Brit landed the part of Zack Loveday in November 2014. As well as now becoming a regular face in the teen drama, this young talent, who is putting his degree on hold for the meanwhile, has also recently worked on feature film, A Hundred Streets, alongside Idris Elba and Gemma Arterton, which is set to be released later this year. With Boachie becoming a household name on TV, and more projects in the pipeline, big things are sure to come for this rising star.
