I'm Sean Sullivan, an actor born and raised in Hemsworth, West Yorkshire currently based in Sheffield. I'm studying acting and performance at Sheffield Hallam University.

Before I came to Sheffield I studied HND Performing arts acting and BTEC Performing arts acting at Wakefield College, and i studied GCSE Drama at St. Wilfrid's Catholic High school.

Whilst at St Wilfrid's I was a part of a school production of Sister Act where I played 4 characters: Ernie, Drag Queen, Cab Driver and Altar boy. I learned a lot from this show such as, how to multi-role, sing and dance.

Whilst at Wakefield College I saw a huge leap in the quality of my acting because of shows such as, DNA by Dennis Kelly where I played the character Adam. Also at my time there I learned how to devise theatre. We devised a piece called Prevent, this production was created to educate people on modern issues, in this case it was teaching the audience about County lines.

I acted in a short movie called Oliver's Interview which was directed and Written by Declan McHale. This is my first time acting for camera so this was a great learning experience for me. I played the character Jack who is a quiet actor who isn't a very nice person, who is scared of the main character (Oliver) who is a serial killer.

I enjoy playing characters that have a lot of emotional depth as I feel that I can really push out the emotions and make people react to what I say and become fully invested in not only the character but the production as a whole.

Other than acting, I have been doing Professional wrestling training on and off since 2017. I did this because I love wrestling and I am very passionate about it. It is also another way for me to perform and entertain people. I decided to do both acting and Wrestling because I can use skills that I gain from each field and become more of a confident, well rounded and unique performer.
