Finlay Allan
Actor

About
Hailing from a village by Fraserburgh, I moved to Ayr in 2019 to study at the University of the West of Scotland. In 2023, I achieved a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours. Thereafter, my studies continued on UWS's Master of Research course, where I developed my knowledge of recent Scottish theatre through a thesis on the complex representation of masculinity, male identity and nationhood in Rona Munro's The James Plays.
As an emerging actor, I always seek to push myself further through different opportunities that facilitate collaboration. I pursue storytelling that embraces a multitude of perspectives and challenge perceptions. ​
Outwith acting, I enjoy fiction novels (Stephen King and Janice Hallet being particular favourites), vinyl records and just about anything science-fiction; one mention of Doctor Who can derail conversation for a few hours... you have been warned!
