From Romanian cinema to stories across borders
A Romanian actor known for God's Own Country, Amulet and Ammonite.
A career across borders
Alec Secăreanu is a Romanian actor whose work includes films made in Romania and the United Kingdom. His role as Gheorghe Ionescu in God's Own Country introduced his work to a wider international audience.
A graduate of Romania's university for theatre and film, Secăreanu appeared in short films before his work in British cinema. The production notes for God's Own Country identify it as his first English-language production.
In Francis Lee's God's Own Country, he plays Gheorghe, a Romanian worker who comes to a Yorkshire farm. The performance earned a British Independent Film Award nomination for best lead actor.
His later work includes the horror film Amulet and Ammonite, which reunited him with director Francis Lee. The two films place him in very different stories after God's Own Country.
