British Actors You Should Know: Callum Woodhouse

Though he may not be a household name, Callum Woodhouse’s face is certainly a familiar one to PBS Masterpiece viewers. Young Mr. Woodhouse has already made an impression on American audiences with his roles in the period dramedies The Durrells (known in the states as The Durrells in Corfu) and the new 2020 reboot of the beloved classic All Creatures Great and Small.

Born and raised in Stockton-on-Tees, this son of a managing director at an oil company and a nurse practitioner didn't come from a family of actors and artists. However, he found his way to acting by joining a theatre workshop group in his hometown. After leaving school, Woodhouse was accepted at the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art. In July 2015, just a week before graduating, Woodhouse got word he'd be heading to Greece to join the cast of The Durrells.

At just 28, Callum Woodhouse has a solid career underway, mixing in appearances on nationally known series, solid starring roles on multiple hit shows, and a healthy line of independent projects in between. He's even already taken home a Global Independent Film Award for best ensemble for his work with British A-listers like Paul McGann. So let’s take a look at his credits thus far.
