About Gregory Piper

Born 1998. Gregory Piper is a British actor.

Gregory Tyler Piper (born 15 March 1998 ) is a British actor best known for playing Ryan Pilkington in Line of Duty.

Line of Duty He was 13 years old when he first appeared in Line of Duty series 1 playing young criminal Ryan Pilkington.

Following complaints from some viewers, Ofcom found that the BBC had made a "serious lapse" in its duty of care for Piper by "failing to ensure that a child welfare counsellor or psychologist had considered the appropriateness or potential emotional risk to the boy of his involvement", given the violent nature of some of his scenes.

Piper reprised the role as a more prominent antagonist in series 5, initially as a member of the Organised Crime Group (OCG) and latterly as a Central Police cadet. In series 6, Pilkington appears more extensively as an officer in the murder investigation team secretly working as a mole for the organised crime syndicate before being killed off in the fifth episode.
