Showbiz CV: Sean joined his local drama group when he was just seven. His first appearance on stage was as Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

He was sucked in by the world of acting there and then, and by the age of ten he was working for the Royal Shakespeare company and then a year later for the Scottish Youth Theatre. AT 14, he got his break and the scripts came flooding in.

Potty about: Music. Sean formed a band when he was 15. He played bass guitar and performed vocals with Crambo for two years before he left.

If he really had magic powers, he would... want to fly. "I used to watch Superman movies and I thought that was the coolest thing," he says.
