Since graduating from the University of Cambridge in 2013, Will Attenborough's acting credits have gone from strength to strength.
Having secured the role of Tommy Judd in Julian Mitchell's play, Another Country, at Chichester Festival Theatre that same year, this 23 year old quickly made his West End debut in the London transfer of the play - a tale of public schoolboys living in the wake of a suicide of a fellow pupil, who had been discovered having sex with a classmate - in 2014. It's clear to see that this young talent has certainly followed in the famous footsteps of his late grandfather, actor Lord Richard Attenborough, and father Michael, who is the former Artistic Director of the Almeida Theatre in Islington, London. Attenborough has not only joined them in the family business, but done so in a revival of a theatre production that cemented the reputations of stars including Rupert Everett, Kenneth Branagh and Daniel Day-Lewis, when it was first staged in the 1980s. As well as gaining recognition for his stage work, the London based actor has also appeared in TV series such as Utopia and In The Flesh in 2014, and Father Brown and ITV drama Home Fires this year. With more accomplished and challenging roles lined up, this rising star is pushing boundaries to make a name for himself.
