Josh O’Connor

Acting


Biography

Josh graduated from the School in 2011 and had his break out role in God’s Own Country (2017), for which he won the BIFA Award for Best Actor.

Since then Josh has stared in multiple roles on TV and the big screen including Netflix’s The Crown portraying Prince Charles winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, Emma (2020), La Chimera (2023) Challengers (2024).

Upcoming films include The History of Sound (2025) and The Mastermind (2025).

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
