“Heartstopper” star Joe Locke has signed with CAA for representation in all areas.
The British actor most recently starred as Charlie in the smash hit Netflix series “Heartstopper,” which debuted earlier this year, and was quickly renewed by the streamer for two more seasons.
Based on the web comic and graphic novel of the same name, the show is about a gay teenager (played by Locke) who falls in love with a popular classmate, played by Kit Connor. Season 2 is currently in production in the U.K., as reported previously.
Locke, a newcomer, won the role through an open casting call from a pool of more than 10,000 actors. His performance garnered nominations for Rising Star at the National Television Awards and outstanding lead performance at the Children’s and Family Emmy Awards.
The actor will next star in the upcoming “Wandavision” spin-off series “Agatha: Coven of Chaos” for Marvel and Disney+ opposite Kathryn Hahn.
