Who is Tom Sturridge?

Tom Sturridge Career
Sturridge started as a child actor and was in the 1996 TV adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels, co-starring his mother and directed by his father. He later reemerged with Vanity Fair and Being Julia in 2004. Sturridge portrayed William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke in BBC4’s A Waste of Shame in 2005. He then played the role of Nigel in the psychological thriller Like Minds, also referred to by the title Murderous Intent in 2006. The film tells the story of two boys, Alex (played by Eddie Redmayne) and Nigel, placed together as room-mates, much to Alex’s objections. Alex is terrified and yet amazed by the ritual-influenced deaths that start to happen around them, and when Nigel himself is murdered, Alex is blamed.
Sturridge was initially cast as the lead in the sci-fi trilogy Jumper. However, after two months of production, New Regency and 20th Century Fox replaced him with a ”more prominent” Hayden Christensen, fearing the gamble of spending over $100 million on a movie starring an unknown actor. He then appeared as Carl, one of the lead roles in the Richard Curtis comedy The Boat That Rocked (known as Pirate Radio in the U.S.), together with Rhys Ifans, Bill Nighy, and Philip Seymor Hoffman in 2009. Sturridge later in September 2009, made his stage debut in Punk Rock, a then newly dramatized play by Simon Stephens at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.

He played a role loosely based on poet Allen Ginsberg in Walter Salles’s 2012 movie adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. Tom then starred in the Broadway play Orphans as Phillip, who is developmentally disabled, in the spring of 2013. For his performance, he was nominated for the Tony Award, and Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play.
