Here you will find profiles of some of the most talented young, British and Irish actors.  The main aim of the site to raise awareness of these actors who don't get the attention and praise that they deserve.

If there's an actor who's not listed on here but you think should be, please get in touch either by email, or via the guestbook.  Please make sure the actor submitted is ¹⁾ relatively "unknown" and ²⁾ can actually act. Where possible please include links or info related to the actor in question - I do not have time to spend hours searching for information!

Also, please visit the forums to discuss any of the actors listed here.  These forums are shared with the TYA site. And also check out Waiting iin the Wings magazine.

Appologies for not updating for ages, I'm currently writing the thesis for my Masters degree so I haven't had time to work on the site. Once I've finished the thesis at the end of September I'll look into getting a new layout up, and a new spam-free guestbook.

I've decided to start including musical theatre stars on the site, and I'm kicking this off with Jon Robyns.

Also, mysef and Katie from the TYA site have set up an online magazine relating to all things British actors! So check out the first issue by clicking the link below.
