Callum Robilliard Turner (born 15 February 1990) is a British actor. After beginning a career as a fashion model, he began working in film and television. He had lead roles in the drama film Queen and Country (2014) and the mystery miniseries Glue (2014), and played Theseus, the brother of Newt Scamander, in the fantasy films Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022).[2][3][4][5]

Turner's performance in the mystery series The Capture (2019) earned him a nomination for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor.[6] He has since starred as Joe Rantz in the biographical film The Boys in the Boat (2023) and as John "Bucky" Egan in the miniseries Masters of the Air (2024).

Early life

[edit]

Turner was born on 15 February 1990 in Hammersmith and grew up in Chelsea, London. He was raised on a council estate by his single mother, who was a club promoter at the time. On his upbringing, Turner said: "The thing I always find interesting in my childhood was, yeah, I was growing up on an estate, single mum, working-class, but then I also had all these colourful characters around. It wasn’t about navigating two worlds. There were three, four, five more." After leaving school early to play football semi-professionally, he became a model and also worked in retail before acting.[7][8]

His middle name is after his mother's friend, poet David Robilliard, who died two years before Turner was born.[1] In an interview at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Turner said his mother instilled in him a love of film and inspired him to become an actor.[9]

In June 2012, Turner was cast in the lead role of John Boorman's film Queen and Country.
