Kieren Kinsey ★

Born and raised in the small South Wales village of Llanhari, Kieren first discovered acting at the age of 10, playing Hansel in Hansel & Gretel. He didn’t return to acting until 18, when he began performing in amateur musical theatre productions around Cardiff.

A graduate of The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, Kieren is a passionate Jazz and Swing singer with a natural love of performance. His first karaoke song at seven years old was That’s Life — and he’s been chasing the high of that performance ever since.

Since graduating, Kieren has worked across screen, stage and voiceover, with credits including four months working on Star Wars: Starfighter as a picture double and stand-in, voiceover work for Casualty, Skyvers at the Almeida Theatre, and Romeo & Juliet with the Ravenna Shakespeare Company.

Not bad for someone who once considered careers as a footballer, accountant and physiotherapist.
