Austin Haynes

Austin came to Artiuclate as a novice actor, keen to try something new and after a lot of acting classes here, really developed his skills and ‘naturalistic acting’. Austin’s first major success was landing the role of ‘Ollie’ in The A Word Series 2 (BBC) which filmed in the Lake District. Soon after, his CV began to lengthen, with roles with CBeebies, Amazon TV, the BBC and various commercials. Austin extended his CV to cover voicework including work for Downton Abbey The Movie (2019) and a key Barnardo’s campaign (2020). Austin has recently filmed as ‘Joseph’ in the Christmas Special for the new ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ (set in the Yorkshire Dales) for Channel 5, as well as working alongside Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent landing a small speaking role in ‘The Duke’ which is due to be released in late 2020.

Soon after, he succesfully auditioned for feature film ‘Pond Life’ (starring Sally Lindsay, Siobhan Finneran, Shaun Dooley, Sian Lee).
