Louis Gale is an actor and writer, originally from Leicestershire, currently in his final year at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (L.I.P.A.).

 

Growing up on the outskirts of the city of Leicester, Louis is a reserved, yet highly energetic, quirky, imaginative and supportive actor who feels more at home on stage or in front of a blank page, than anywhere else. He hopes that he is an intelligent, creative and modest performer (if he does say so himself).

A self-professed geek, book-worm, film buff  and History boff, Louis adores nothing more than reading (he's currently obsessed with turn-of-the-century Russian Modernism) writing and watching and analysing films & television.

Given the opportunity to study the subject he loves, Louis adores every minute of his training at L.I.P.A., no matter how outlandish it becomes, and is incredibly grateful at this chance to advance his craft, work with industry professionals, meet like-minded people and make some of the best friends imaginable, no matter how outlandish they are either.

​

His recent credits include playing Ryan McGregor in Noughts & Crosses  in his first final year production, lovelorn Palaeontology Professor Tom in newly written rom-com Four Screens, and the devilishly charming serial killer Andrew in Mell Flynn's The Meeting which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year.

Prior to that  Louis had the opportunity to play one of his dream roles, Benedick of Padua in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, under Liverpool Everyman Director Chris Tomlinson, as well as George Orwell (one of his favourite and most inspiring authors) in the epic, large scale promenade piece Red & Black that explored the Spanish Civil War under Alan Lane of Slunglow.  He has also recently been thoroughly enjoying working on Screen Acting with Director Philip Wood (Cornonation Street, Emmerdale). 

​

Some of his prior credits include Oliver in Loughborough's Esna Players'Oliver, Shane Ormandroyd in The Festival Players' Brassed Off, John (Jack) Kipling in My Boy Jack, Elijah in Urban Young Actors' We Lost Elijah, The Guide Jonathan Crawley in the darkly comedic devised piece Project LE1. Louis has also starred in a short-film premiered at Leicester's first film festival and had another short-film he wrote, directed and starred in shown at the British Film Institute (B.F.I.) South-Bank Cinema in London.

 

Louis can think of nothing worse than a website plastered with pictures of his face and an 'About Me' section all about him, me, him; thus he apologises profusely.

​

"Sorry."
