We are always exceptionally proud of our alumni, so many of whom are doing so well for themselves, but the current media obsession with graduate Aidan Turner has us particularly excited! Aidan qualified from our Full Time Actor Training course in 2004 & is currently playing the lead in new BBC1 Drama Poldark – His success has taken the UK & Ireland by storm.
Aidan started at our school by doing one of our part time courses: Acting for Camera, and stayed on to do the Full Time Two Year Professional Actor Training Courses at the school, graduating in 2004. His girlfriend, actress & last year’s Tony Award nominee, Sarah Greene, also studied at the school, graduating in 2006.
We caught up with Aidan sometime back about his time at the school – Check out our Interview of the month here.
