Callum Turner: You might recognise him as Theseus Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, or perhaps as the charismatic pilot Major John “Bucky” Egan in Apple TV+’s Masters of the Air.

He's got a BAFTA....
Turner's performance in the mystery series The Capture (2019) landed him a nomination for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor.
