An Oxford-raised actor, who has already found fame on Netflix, is starring in a new film.
Sebastian Croft is best-known for his major role in the hit show Heartstopper.
As season four of the programme is released, fans of the show will be disappointed not to see Mr Croft’s iconic character ‘Ben’ returning.

The programme is based on a volume of books of the same name by Alice Osman.
Instead of reprising his role, the 21 year-old is playing the lead in a new Amazon Prime film.
Set to be released on September 8, the film is a high school romantic comedy called How to Date Billy Walsh.
Starring alongside Mr Coft is Bridgerton’s Charithra Chandran and Cobra Kai’s Tanner Buchanan.
The plot centres on a love triangle typical of the teen rom-com genre.
Mr Croft’s character Archie is left devastated when his best friend, and life-long love, Amelia falls for a new American transfer student.
Before reaching global fame on Heartstopper, Mr Croft made his television debut as Young Ned Stark in Game of Thrones and went on to star in Horrible Histories: The Movie - Rotten Romans.
Growing up in Oxfordshire, he began his career with acting classes at the Abingdon branch of Stagecoach.
He attended The Dragon School and took his GCSEs at St Edward’s School in Summertown.
