“To be working with actors I’ve grown up with and/or have been desperate to work with, alongside oodles of incredible ‘as yet’ undiscovered talent, is an absolute honour and I’ve not been this passionate about shooting a project in years!”
The Gallows Pole cast also includes George MacKay, Tom Burke, Sophie McShera, Cara Theobold, Yusra Warsama, Samuel Edward-Cook, Anthony Welsh and more.
Thomas Turgoose has become one of the best loved and successful actors in Lincolnshire, appearing in hit after hit.
