Bio: ​  Tom Felix Stapleton is a sparky, Cambridge born actor, drawn to playing deep thinkers and wacky romantics. As a kid, he found it hard when his friends grew out of playing pretend so he roped them into co-starring in home made plays and films instead. That’s where the love of storytelling began. Then years later, after performing at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe in a delightfully unhinged pantomime version of Candide, he decided to pursue acting professionally and hasn't looked back since. Now finishing his BA in Acting at Rose Bruford College, Tom brings a mix of vulnerability, wit, and outside-the-box play to every role on stage and screen. When he’s not performing, you’ll probably find him wild camping, plotting a life in a windmill overlooking the sea, or chasing the next great story.
