around to go to college nearby. He’s clearly a man who loves where he is from, and
that’s a refreshing bit of information.

2. He Graduated College

This is a young man who knew that his education was important, and so he went to
college. He attended Oxford University. He studied hard and ended up with a
bachelor’s degree in English literature. It’s a helpful degree to have when you want to
work in the arts, and he’s probably not too upset that he chose that route.

3. He Also Studied Acting

More in line with what he is doing now, he attended the Guildhall School of Music
and Drama. He graduated in 2014 from there. He was able to spend his time there
learning his craft, starring in wonderful productions, and really refining his skill. It
shows, don’t you think?

4. He’s A Stage Actor

Most of his acting career has been spent on stage thus far. He’s been in many UK
productions, and they are all seemingly better than the next. However, he’s been
working hard to star in movies and on television, and it seems that he’s adding a lot
of that kind of work to his professional resume. We love that he is so well-rounded.
Acting live in a theater production is no easy feat, and then turning that around to act
in a movie is a drastic change.

5. He’s Got a Lot of Talents

If you thought acting was it, you’d be mistaken. He’s a young man with a varied
interest when it comes to things he likes to do. He sings (though that’s not a surprise
from a stage actor). He also loves to ride horses and swim. He’s a man with many
dimensions.

6. He’s Got a Fun Musical Talent

We are always in awe of anyone who can play musical instruments, and he’s a guy
who can do just that. Not only is he able to play the piano – such a lovely instrument
– he also plays the harmonica. While that one doesn’t strike nearly the shame chord
for us, the fact that he is an accomplished beatboxer really does. That’s such a cool
thing to be able to do.

7. He’s A Chess Player

He might play a chess player in his new series on Netflix, but he’s not just learning as
he goes. He’s actually a good chess player, which is another thing that many people
don’t have the patience for. It’s a fun game for many, but it’s a lot of work and
concentration if you really want to be good. Rumor has it, he’s actually quite good.
