Biography

Hugh was born on January 6, 1985, in the bustling city of London. His academic journey commenced at Eastbourne College in 1998, where he spent five years honing his skills until his graduation in 2003. Following his secondary education, Hugh pursued his passion for drama at the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Upon completing his studies, Hugh ventured into the world of stage performances, gradually making a name for himself through minor roles in television productions. In 2014, he caught the attention of viewers with his unique portrayals in the television series 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' and 'Any Human Heart'.

However, it was his subsequent roles in the satirical television series 'W1A' and the period drama 'Our Zoo' that truly showcased his versatility as an actor. In 'W1A', he played the role of Will, a lovable but hapless intern, while in 'Our Zoo', he brought to life the character of a compassionate village doctor.

Since 2016, Hugh has been entertaining audiences with his comedic skills in the satirical series 'The Windsors', where he portrayed a charming but slightly dim-witted version of Prince William. In 2018, he made his big-screen debut as a younger version of Colin Firth's character, Harry, in the highly anticipated film 'Mamma Mia - Here We Go Again'.
