Callum Robilliard Turner is a British actor born on February 15, 1990, in Hammersmith, London. Raised in the Chelsea neighborhood by his single mother, Turner developed a passion for film at an early age, often citing movies as his primary source of education. He began his career in the fashion industry, modeling for brands like Burberry, Reebok, and Next plc, before transitioning to acting at 18.

His breakthrough came with the film Queen and Country (2014), where he portrayed a young Bill Rohan, earning him recognition as one of Screen International's 'Stars of Tomorrow' in 2014. Turner's notable television work includes the Channel 4 drama Glue (2014), where he played Eli, and the BBC adaptation of Tolstoy's War and Peace (2016), where he portrayed Anatole Kuragin. In 2018 and 2022, he appeared as Theseus Scamander, the older brother of Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander, in the Fantastic Beasts films. His performance in the BBC series The Capture (2019) earned him a nomination for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor. In 2024, Turner starred in two major projects: the film The Boys in the Boat, directed by George Clooney, where he portrayed Joe Rantz, a member of the 1936 U.S. Olympic rowing team, and the Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air, produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, where he played World War II pilot Major John "Bucky" Egan. Beyond acting, Turner has directed a short film inspired by his upbringing and has been recognized for his versatility and depth in performances across various genres.
