Charlie Benedict Scotland Callaghan was born in Hampshire in August 1999. He is of Irish, Welsh, Scottish and French descent. His first movie role was as Harry in Journey to the Moon aged 7 and by age 10 had appeared in a trio of London's West End shows. Aged 11 Charlie was cast as Chris Hartley in The Awakening alongside Rebecca Hall, Dominic West & Imelda Staunton and a year later was cast by the original Harry Potter Casting Director to play Young Herbert Pocket in Great Expectations alongside Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, Jeremy Irvine and Olly Alexander. Charlie received some great reviews praising his performance, such as 'Charlie Callaghan manages to be both so ridiculous and decent that he walks off with the entire movie' (CriticsNotebook) and 'The film sees a touching performance from Charlie Callaghan as the warmly pugnacious Herbert Pocket, who steals the biggest laugh of the movie' (DCM). Charlie then appeared in a series of short films, including Graham in Top Hat, Sweet Lad in Sugar and Charlie in Midnight Train. Whilst studying for his GCSE's Charlie became a member of NYT and NYMT. He was cast as Harry Tallentire in The Hired Man at St James Theatre and Herr Neumann in Spring Awakening at The Curve both directed by Nikolai Foster. Charlie is coached by a male principal of The Royal Ballet and is a World Champion Tap dancer. Show less «
