Charlie Carrick

Carrick was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, and grew up in the suburb of Jesmond. He attended the Royal Grammar School.^[2] He was 13 when he discovered acting through a school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. After completing his A Levels, Carrick worked at a local bar for six months to save up for his studies at the Vancouver Film School, graduating in 2006. He was inspired by his grandfather, who temporarily worked in Canada; Carrick's mother had been born in Montreal before the family returned to Tyneside.^[3]

As of 2017, Carrick and his wife Nina live in London and Guelph.^[3][4]

Outside of his acting career, Carrick is an avid soccer player and fan, possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of 1990s English football. He has noted that he frequently plays recreationally to stay in shape.^[5]
