Anthony Boyle went from the West End stage to starring on several streaming shows. "I just wanted to create. I wanted to write," Boyle told the U.K.'s The Times in January 2024. "I got expelled from school aged 16 and I would go on the internet to look up 'Belfast male acting auditions.' I showed up to everything I could." After finding success in the theater, Boyle started to book jobs on screen, appearing in one episode of Game of Thrones in 2014 before nabbing other supporting roles. In 2019, he went on to play Geoffrey Bache Smith in Tolkien.
