Christos Lawton

Christos grew up with his mother on a council estate by the sea in Poole.  As a child he was obsessed with Elvis and used to dress up and perform Elvis songs at any opportunity.  As he reached his teens he left Elvis behind and started to concentrate on acting as well as surfing and skateboarding in his spare time. 

He first came to London at 18 when he was invited to join V-TOL Dance Company for a summer project, culminating in a performance at The Royal Festival Hall.  He then moved to London at 19 to complete a foundation at East 15 Acting School, going on to do a BA at Drama Centre London.

Since graduating Christos has worked on many classical theatre productions and was a dangerous, edgy and enigmatic Mercutio in an open-air production of Romeo & Juliet at St Paul's, The Actors' Church in Covent Garden.   He toured the capitals of Europe in the title role of A Picture of Dorian Gray.   He also enjoys acting for camera and has been in numerous short films, particularly with the up and coming director Tom Shkolnik.

Aside from acting Christos still has an intense passion for music and strong ties in the music industry.  He has freelanced in music PR and been Music Supervisor to several short films since leaving Drama Centre.

He now lives with a troupe of other actors in a mansion block in Highgate.
