Vyelle Croom plays Orlando in the BBCs Material Girl - an actor worth watching in 2010
As a face to follow in 2010, bubbling under the surface actor, Vyelle Croom fits the bill perfectly.
Chosen to appear alongside Dervla Kirwan in the BBCs flagship drama Material Girl (every Thursday at 80..pm on BBC1), Vyelle plays gay fashion designer Orlando in this fast-moving, no holds barred expose of the fickle fashion industry.
Vyelle graduated from the internationally famous London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (remarkably having been also accepted at the Central School of Speech and Drama), in 2006 and has been in demand ever since.
His Gold Distinction in Stage Combat was put to good use when he played Aramis in the Three Musketeers during a sell-out run at the Bristol Old Vic.
Vyelle’s film credits include Souvenirs in which he plays the lead character in this independent film which explores the universal themes of conquest and possession.
Souvenirs won the ‘Audiences Choice’ at the London Independent Film Festival. It was also selected for the Palm Springs Film Festival where it outsold both Demi Moore’s and Courtney Cox’s debut films as directors.
Souvenirs has also been selected for the Stuttgart International Film Festival and the Thai International Film Festival, both in 2010.
Vyelle has also played main character roles in other independent films including: City Rats with Danny Dyer, Bigger than Ben with Ben Barnes and Shouting Men.
In 2006, Vyelle played alongside Billie Piper in the BBCs production, Shadow in the North together with Matt Smith (the new Dr Who).
