Callum, a towering figure at six feet two inches, hails from the vibrant city of London, where he grew up on a Chelsea estate, surrounded by the iconic football club that would become a lifelong passion. This formative experience, he would later reveal, had a profound impact on his worldview, stating in a 2014 interview that "I learned more from films than I did through life itself." At the tender age of eighteen, Callum made the bold decision to pursue a career in acting, enrolling in courses and supplementing his studies by modeling for Burberry, featuring prominently in their 2011 campaign captured by renowned photographer Mario Testino.
As he continued to hone his craft, Callum was handpicked by acclaimed director John Boorman to portray the younger version of himself in the 2012 sequel to "Hope and Glory," "Queen and Country." Although the project was delayed for over a year, Callum's perseverance paid off, and he went on to appear alongside the talented Helen McCrory in the television drama "Leaving," a poignant exploration of a middle-aged woman's affair with a younger man.
The success of these early endeavors earned Callum a coveted spot on Screen International's 2014 list of Stars of Tomorrow. In the same year, he brought his unique talent to the small screen, starring in Channel 4's gripping drama serial "Glue," which followed a group of young individuals as they investigated the mysterious death of Callum's on-screen brother in a community of travelers.
In early 2016, Callum joined an impressive ensemble cast for the BBC's adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's timeless classic, "War and Peace." This remarkable journey, marked by a series of challenging and rewarding roles, cemented Callum's status as a rising star in the world of acting.
