Life and career Andrew Still was born in December 1993 and grew up in, Jordanhill, Glasgow. When he was 15, he started taking part in plays with the Scottish Youth Theatre. The casting opportunity had been sent to Scottish Youth Theatre, which was emailed to Still and prompted him to audition. He did not have an agent at the time but won the role regardless after impressing Hollyoaks bosses. He relocated from Glasgow to Liverpool for the role and lived with several other cast members (Jonny Clarke, Calvin Demba, Laurie Duncan, Dylan Llewellyn and Tosin Cole) in a "big student house" located on Penny Lane, which Still said he enjoyed. That same year, Still appeared as Joel in the fifth series of the late night spinoff Hollyoaks Later. Still then departed as Joel from Hollyoaks, making his final appearance in January 2013. Still said he enjoyed working with his co-star Charlotte Beaumont, saying that she taught him a lot. Still then took over the role of "Sick Boy" in the 2018 run of Trainspotting Live, based on Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name; the role had previously been played by Rory Douglas-Speed, who took over the role of Joel on Hollyoaks in 2016 and whom Still has mutual friends with. In December 2022, it was announced that Still would play the recurring guest role of Justin Rutherford in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street, with his appearance airing that same month. After an initial cameo, Still began appearing more as Justin when Justin was involved in a storyline highlighting stalking. In his time in the soap, Justin stalks Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) and then attempts an acid attack on her, which severely harms Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott). Justin's acid attack won "Scene of the Year" and "Best Single Episode" at the 2023 British Soap Awards, whilst Justin's stalking of Daisy was shortlisted for "Best Storyline" that same year. Still was longlisted for "Best Villain" at the 2023 Inside Soap Awards, whilst the acid attack and stalking storyline were shortlisted for "Best Storyline" and the acid attack won "Best Showstopper". Araminta Parker from OK! noted that Coronation Street fans were "full of praise for Andrew Still's thrilling portrayal of the villain" and that the actor "soared to fame" due to the "harrowing storyline". Whilst Still was in Liverpool, he felt homesick at times. 2021 Nobody Has to Know Brian Film
