Louis McCartney is best known for his leading role, in his stage debut, as Henry Creel in Stranger Things: The First Shadow in London's West End where he has received tremendous reviews and won awards. Louis got his first break when he was burnt alive by a dragon in Games of Thrones (credited role). He was then cast in the BBC television series Hope Street, as Shay, a cheeky but lovable, returning character. This was followed by the feature film Silent Roar, directed by Johnny Barrington and produced by Chris Young, where Louis was cast in the lead role as Dondo, a young surfer dealing with the grief of his father’s death. Next up was William of Orangedale, a coming-of-age comedy set in a council estate in East Belfast, for Hat Trick Productions and Channel 4.
