Originally from a small mining village in the North East of England, Stuart began performing from a young age, firstly in dance and musical theatre. At the age of 16, Stuart moved to London to take up a full scholarship place at ArtsEd on their BTEC Extended Diploma in Musical Theatre, with A-Levels in Dance and Drama. As part of his A-Level, Stuart played the role of Katurian in The Pillowman and it was this experience that led to his decision to pursue a career in acting.

Stuart applied to LAMDA and was delighted to be accepted on to the three year BA (Hons) Professional Acting as a Genesis LAMDA Scholar and will graduate in July 2019.
