Anthony Boyle, known for his breakthrough in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," has garnered attention for his roles in various acclaimed television series including HBO's "The Plot Against America" and Netflix's "House of Guinness." In "The Plot Against America," Boyle portrays a young Jewish man, delivering a deeply emotional performance in a miniseries that explores an alternate history of America during World War II. Boyle's role as Arthur Guinness in "House of Guinness," a Netflix historical drama created by Steven Knight, showcases his versatility as he embodies the openly gay head of the Guinness brewing dynasty in 1860s Ireland, a bold narrative choice highlighting societal dangers of the era. His portrayal is marked by an authentic accent and a distinctive sculptural moustache that he adopted despite initial reservations. Recently, Boyle has been named a frontrunner for the iconic role of James Bond, ranking fifth favorite according to Ladbrokes bookmakers, reflecting rising industry recognition and fan anticipation.
