Biography

Sean Cronin's biography is a testament to his multifaceted talents and his passion for the film industry. Born in West London to an English mother and an Irish/Welsh father, with Spanish and Sicilian ancestry, Sean's destiny was shaped in the early nineties when he was bitten by the film bug.

Initially, Sean's intense and menacing presence led to supporting roles in notable films such as 'James Bond: The World Is Not Enough' (1999),'The Mummy' (1999),'The Mummy Returns' (2001),'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' (2002),and 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' (2016).

As Sean's career progressed, he transitioned from the background to the foreground, taking on more prominent roles. Notable performances include his portrayal of the terrifying vampire 'Cyrus' in 'The Thompsons' (2012),the crazy Russian gangster 'Dellski' in 'London's Finest' (2014),and 'Arry' in 'The Callback Queen' (2013).

Sean's versatility as an actor is evident in his range of characters, from the lead villain 'Kane' in 'Kill Kane' (2016) to 'Thorn' in Neil Monahan's political horror 'Election Night', and 'Igor' in Fraser Precious's crime thriller 'Safeguard'.

In addition to his acting career, Sean is also a skilled cinematographer and director, having shot numerous high-end music videos, short films, and features. His directorial debut, 'Throw of a Dice' (2012),was followed by the award-winning 'An Unfortunate Woman' (2015),the period drama 'Irongate', and the semi-biopic 'Give Them Wings' (2021).

Sean's most recent directorial ventures include the award-winning 'Our Kid' and the forthcoming horror films 'Bogieville' and 'Drained', set for release in 2025. His most ambitious project to date is 'Michael' - The Michael Watson Story', which is slated for production in spring 2025.

As the founder of his own production company, Magnificent Films, Sean has established himself as a talented and eclectic filmmaker, known for his ability to bring complex characters to life on the big screen. With his extensive experience in both acting and filmmaking, Sean is well on his way to becoming one of the most convincing and sinister adversaries in modern cinema.
