Anthony J Abraham is best known for his leading role as Artie in the family action-adventure series Theodosia and his appearances on the BBC smash hit Bad Education, alongside the show's creator Jack Whitehall and Strictly Come Dancing star Layton Williams.
Despite his public profile, the actor maintains a relatively private life, with fans knowing little about his personal affairs.
Anthony's love for acting ignited during his secondary school years, when his drama teachers encouraged him to take part in school productions at the tender age of 16.
He later pursued acting courses at the Identity School of Acting, which led to him securing his first agent and starting to audition for serious roles.

His portfolio also includes roles in short films like Exhale and South Facing. In 2022, Anthony starred in the short film Death and a Salesman, playing the lead character Drew.
The actor is now poised to join the cast of the BBC hit show Death In Paradise, where he will portray Officer Benjamin Brice.
