ITV Reveals Newest Recipient Of The Tony Warren Drama Student Bursary

ITV has revealed the third and newest recipient of the Tony Warren Drama Student Bursary as Harry Chalmers-Morris.

Originally from Heald Green, Cheshire where he went to Wilmslow High School, Harry began his training on the BA (Hons) in Professional Acting at LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) this September and is already proving his talent and skills to the teams there.

Harry said: "I'm delighted to have got into LAMDA. I may be biased but it feels like a special time to be at such a highly regarded school. The Royal Exchange was my local theatre growing up and to be at LAMDA with Sarah Frankcom as the Director, I feel incredibly lucky and couldn’t wait to start my training.

"I'm really humbled to win the Tony Warren Bursary, my first TV memory is watching Coronation Street with my gran. A massive thank you to ITV for this opportunity and Noreen, Carolyn and Gennie for a fantastic audition experience. All actors from the north west are indebted to Tony Warren. He has broken down so many barriers and his legacy will live on for years. I hope to make him proud."

ITV Casting Director, Gennie Radcliffe, said: "Harry absolutely delighted us with his wonderful mix of humour, charm and vulnerability; his passion and drive to never stop learning and to continually improve and hone his craft shone out right through his audition. I can't wait to see what impact LAMDA's world-class training will have on his already incredibly evident talent."
