Harris Dickinson (born 24 June 1996) is an English actor. For starring in the drama Beach Rats (2017), he was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead.

Early life[]

Dickinson was born 24 June 1996[1] and raised in Leytonstone, East London.[2][3] At seventeen, he dropped out of school, where he was trying to study film and theatre.[3] Dickinson almost opted for a career in the Royal Marines, before being convinced to return to the theatre by his coach at RAW Academy in London. Dickinson commented that a lot of people choose not to follow their passions "because they're scared, or don't have the support network."[4]

Acting career[]

In 2016, Dickinson was cast as Frankie in Eliza Hittman's film Beach Rats, about a young man struggling with his sexuality on the Coney Island boardwalk. For his performance, Dickinson was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead and the Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Actor.[5][6]
