His recent breakthrough role was Danny Collins in the comedy horror film The Moors (2024) directed by Adam James Mawson, which featured in Yorkshire newspapers in 2024 including the Telegraph & Argus, The Ilkley Gazette and The York Press. The Moors (2024) was a grand finalist for Best Short Horror Film at the White Rose International Film Festival 2025. In The Moors (2024), Sebastian worked alongside Danny Cunningham (known for Coronation Street (1960) and Emmerdale Farm (1972) ). The Moors (2024) is now available on Amazon Prime and Blu-ray and was developed as an (unofficial) sequel to An American Werewolf in London (1981). His latest work includes the role of Mal Deccard in the new sci-fi feature film Of Infinite Worlds (2026), directed by Simon Cox. He has also recently portrayed the role of Malcom in the film Homeless Tobez (2025), directed by Thomas Loone (Audience Choice - Best Film at Glowflare Film Festival 2025). Sebastian grew up with a drive to work as an actor in film and television. His passion for film and TV and his early years raising money for Cancer Support Yorkshire through local musical theatre, cemented his decision to pursue a serious acting career. His first leading roles were with a local theatre company founded by his drama teacher. Although he enjoyed musicals, it was the acting and characterisation within early roles that made him determined. He attended Woodhouse Grove Private School where he developed a love for music and literature. After a trip to the Royal Shakespeare Company as a teenager he developed an interest in Shakespeare's works. This led him to attend a summer school at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He studied acting at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, graduating from drama school in 2020 during the worldwide pandemic, and received his BA (Hons) - Acting in 2022, after a postponed graduation. He has studied acting for film with both Clifford Milner (known for BBC's Doctors (2000)) and Andrew Lee Potts (ITV's Primeval (2007)). Primeval (2007) is a series Sebastian loved growing up, watching it alongside Doctor Who (2005). Between 2020-2021, he worked with established British actors and directors across the U.K. such as Kate Fahy, David Horovitch, John Craggs, Anna Carteret and Richard O'Callaghan on rehearsed readings of well known works. This enhanced his passion for working in the film and theatre industry. He further pursued connecting with like-minded actors through events and productions ran by members of The Outcasts Creative, helmed by Lance Nielsen (a channel supported by actor Jason Flemyng and The Critical Drinker - Will Jordan). This channel particularly helped Sebastian broaden his horizons and outlook on the industry. In between auditions for more stricter acting roles, he developed his own gardening business, allowing him to travel further afield. Sebastian is known to have kept his work thriving by collaborating with artists such as Dan Olsen and The Burnt Chip Josh Larkin. He has also recently taken on comedic roles both onscreen and onstage including for touring theatre. The Moors (2024), Homeless Tobez (2025) and Of Infinite Worlds (2026), the sequel to Invasion Planet Earth (2019) (releasing December 2025) include his most well known roles to date. His other passions include console gaming, writing, horse riding, general fitness, music and hiking.
