Not many people can boast of having been cast in a West End play just months after graduating from drama school, but British actor Josef Davies can do just that.

Davies trained at the prestigious LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) and despite only graduating in July 2015, bagged a role in Martin McDonagh's Hangmen at the Royal Court Theatre, which has so far played to rave reviews. Now the rising star is set to feature in The Limehouse Golem, a Brit horror flick penned by Jane Goldman, best known for Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service and X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is sure to be another cinema favourite in 2016.
