Adam Michael Richard Sopp (born 27 August 1986)[1] is a British actor, known for his role as teenager Darren Clarke in the long-running BBC school drama, Grange Hill, from 1999 to 2002.

Career[]

He has also appeared in daytime soap opera Doctors. He provided the voice for Harry Potter in the Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and 2 video game adaptations, and for "Rickert of Vinheim" and "Vince of Thorolund" in the video game Dark Souls. He reprised the role of Harry Potter for additional dialogue in the Universal Studios ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. In 2014, he played the role of Mick Avory in the musical Sunny Afternoon.[2] In 2016, he returned to the Dark Souls video game series, voicing the male version of "Anri of Astora" in Dark Souls III.

Personal life[]

After leaving Grange Hill, Adam Sopp trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

Adam is an accomplished swing ball player. He reached 7th and 8th place play-off for the Bromley Cup, eventually falling to Terry Grafton. After the match Sopp called foul on the result claiming Grafton had made a provocative suggestion between quarters 3 and 4 putting him off his game. Sopp was heard to mutter 'that's just not how I play swing ball'.

Adam has recently taken up balloon sculpture. This is not to be confused with the past time associated with children's parties. Balloo-sculpt requires a high level of accuracy and determination to re create some of the great master pieces of the world. Recent competition winners include a recreation of Michelangelo's David and architectural triumph Beijing Olympic stadium 'The Birds nest'. His attempt at Lewisham Town Hall was considered particularly moving.
