Peter Young
I’m a Belfast-based actor with a steadily growing catalogue of short film, feature film, and stage work. I have a lot of love for performance art and storytelling, and film especially is a passion of mine. My acting work has featured in prestigious BAFTA and Academy affiliate festivals like Galway Film Fleadh and Cork International and has also screened on major streaming platforms like Channel 4 and iPlayer. Outside of acting, I also work professionally as a writer/director – I love the craft both in-front of camera and behind.
