A young man from Cleator Moor may have a future in acting with a role in a new BBC comedy.
Harry Gaythwaite, 12 of Cleator Moor has played a part in 'Don't Forget The Driver' starring acclaimed actor, Toby Jones.
Toby Jones has starred in major feature films such as 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' as well as the film adaptation of 'Tinker, Tailor Soldier Spy.'
Mr Jones also played a dastardly villain in the most recent series of 'Sherlock'.
His dad Graham said: "The whole family's proud, he did it all of his own accord.
"He sent a video in."
And a casting agency picked up his profile. Harry, bearing a resemblance to Toby Jones, lead actor and creator of the show, was cast as his nephew.
The role could lead to a bigger part in future episodes.
Mr Gaythwaite said: "If it goes well when it comes on TV, he'll be back to do the next series."
"Hopefully next series there will be a lot more of Harry."
And his acting skills are developing. Harry said: "I've had advice from a lot of different actors."
"The premier was brilliant" he said.
'Don't Forget The Driver' airs on April 9 on BBC Two.
