Luke Antony Treadaway (born 10 September 1984) is an English actor, best known for appearing in the film Brothers of the Head.
Personal life
Treadaway was raised in Sandford, near Crediton, Devon with his father, an architect, his mother, a primary school teacher, and two brothers - his slightly younger twin Harry and their older brother Sam, an artist. He attended Queen Elizabeth's Community College in Crediton. As a young teenager he played the guitar in a band called Lizardsun which he formed with Harry, as well as Matt Conyngham and Seth Campbell.
As a child, he was a member of the National Youth Theatre, for whom he played Prince Ivan in The Firebird. He was also in the ensemble for a production of Murder in the Cathedral.
Career
While still at drama school, he and his twin brother recorded roles in their first feature film: Brothers of the Head, in which they played conjoined twins. Luke played Barry Howe, the band's singer, and his brother Harry played Tom Howe, the guitarist and song-writer. During rehearsals and throughout the shoot, Luke and Harry were connected to each other for fifteen hours a day, wearing sewn-together wetsuits or a harness. They also slept in one bed to simulate the conjoined nature of their characters. The Treadaways performed all tracks featured in the film themselves live on stage, as well as recording nine tracks for the sound-track album.
After graduating from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in 2006, he appeared in The Innocence Project for BBC television. In the same year he had a small part in a short film called God's Wounds. He recently finished filming Dogging: A Love Story directed by Simon Ellis, and also appeared as a 14 year old Theo in the hard-hitting Channel 4 drama Clapham Junction.
He made his stage debut in Saint Joan at the Royal National Theatre, followed by War Horse at the same venue. In 2008 he appeared in Piranha Heights, a new play by Philip Ridley, at the Soho Theatre in London and in Cradle Me, a new play by Simon Vinnicombe, at the Finborough Theatre. He also played Albert in John Tams' adaptation of War Horse for BBC Radio 2 on 8 November 2008.
In 2009 he appeared in the play Over There at the Royal Court Theatre alongside his twin brother Harry Treadaway from 25 February - 21 March.
He will play Prokopian in the 2010 film Clash of the Titans.
