Callum Dixon Born c. 1983 (age 42–43)[1] Chichester, England[2] Occupation Actor

**Callum Dixon** (born c. 1983) is an English actor from [Chichester](/source/Chichester).

## Career

Dixon's acting career was described as happening "by accident", as despite not enjoying school, he enjoyed drama lessons with his teacher who showed enthusiasm. At the age of 11, he auditioned for and secured a small part in a variant of [Alan Bennett](/source/Alan_Bennett)'s play [Forty Years On](/source/Forty_Years_On_(play)), during which time he decided that acting was what he wanted to pursue. While still at school, he continued to secure smaller roles, including a national tour of [Oliver](/source/Oliver!), where he would work on alternate two-weeks, on and off school. Prior to turning 18, Dixon was able to secure roles of characters several years younger than he was at the time, which he attributed to looking younger than his age. In 1990, he became the [Royal Shakespeare Company](/source/Royal_Shakespeare_Company)'s youngest member when he took the role in Edward II, as the son of the King.[1]
