Harry Treadaway (born 10th September 1984) is an English actor. He was raised in Devon, England and attended Queen Elizabeth's Community College in Crediton. Treadaway trained at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and stars alongside his twin brother Luke Treadaway in the feature film "Brothers of the Head".

Personal life

Treadaway was raised in Sandford, near Exeter, Devon with his father, an architect, his mother, a primary school teacher, and two brothers - his twin Luke Treadaway and their older brother Sam, an artist. As a young teenager he played in a band called Lizardsun which he formed with his brother, as well as Matt Conyngham and Seth Campbell.

Treadaway is a former member of the National Youth Theatre. He took time out from his course at LAMDA to work on "Brothers of the Head", and graduated in 2006.

Acting Roles

His professional debut was Brothers of the Head, a feature film about conjoined twin brothers in a punk rock band. Harry played Tom Howe, and his brother Luke played Barry Howe. During rehearsals and throughout the shoot, Harry and Luke were connected to each other for fifteen hours a day, wearing sewn-together wetsuits or a harness. They also slept in one bed to simulate the conjoined nature of their characters.

Treadaway took on other professional commitments while still at drama school including "Miss Marple: Sleeping Murder" for ITV television, and a reading of a new play, "Myrna Molloy" for Operating Theatre Company in 2006.

Since graduating, he has taken on work such as "Recovery" for Tiger Aspect (playing the son of characters played by David Tennant and Sarah Parish) and as Mark Brogan on the "Channel 4" series "Cape Wrath" (known as "Meadowlands" in America). In "Control" Harry plays Joy Division drummer Stephen Morris.

He has recently finished shooting the horror film "The Disappeared", directed by Johnny Kevorkian from Minds Eye Films, and "City of Ember", in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

He appears in the Channel 4 drama "The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall", and a short film by Sam Taylor-Wood.
