Life and career edit
Taylor was born on 16 July 2001. He is from Surrey.[1] He stopped attending drama school in 2013 until his former teacher, Rachel Bell of The Secret Stage School in Camberley, told him an agent was coming to the school for interviews. Taylor went to audition, was signed with his first agent and went on to star in The Last Kingdom and Doctor Foster for the BBC.[1]
Taylor won the role of Jake Chambers in The Dark Tower in March 2016, after a worldwide casting.[2] He was set to reprise the role in a television series based on the fourth volume of The Dark Tower book series.[2] However, the production of that TV series will be a reboot with no connection to the film due to its financial and critical result.[3]
In 2023, Taylor was cast as Lord Cregan Stark in season 2 of House of the Dragon.[4]
