Finding characters across worlds

Josh O’Connor is a British actor whose work spans independent film and television. He gained wider attention as Johnny Saxby in God’s Own Country and later played Prince Charles in The Crown.

After training at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, O’Connor took roles across film and television. In Francis Lee’s God’s Own Country he plays a young farmer whose life changes after meeting a Romanian worker, played by Alec Secăreanu.

His portrayal of Prince Charles in The Crown earned an Emmy and a Golden Globe. The role brought a historical public figure into a drama focused on family relationships and duty.
