Kristian Bartholomew Hitchen, a talented English actor, has made a significant mark in the film industry, particularly for his captivating performance in Ken Loach's feature film, Sorry We Missed You, which earned him a nomination for Best Actor at the prestigious British Independent Film Awards.
Born on April 28, 1974, in the city of Salford, Hitchen's early life was marked by a passion for dancing, which he studied as a child. After completing his education, he attempted to break into the acting world, but his journey was momentarily put on hold when he met his wife. He subsequently left the industry to pursue a career in plumbing, running his own business.
However, Hitchen's return to acting was precipitated by a transformative experience at a retreat shortly before his 40th birthday. This newfound inspiration led him to secure small roles in notable television series such as 4 O'Clock Club and Coronation Street. His big break came when he landed the part of Ricky in Ken Loach's critically acclaimed film, Sorry We Missed You.
Since then, Hitchen has continued to impress audiences with his versatility, appearing in a range of projects, including the historical drama Anne Boleyn, where he played the esteemed role of the Duke of Norfolk, as well as The Long Shadow, Trigger Point, and the film Speak No Evil, which co-starred James McAvoy.
