Laurie Duncan

Laurie Clifford Duncan (born 2 May 1991) is an English television actor best known for his role as Callum Kane on the British soap opera Hollyoaks.

Early life Laurie was born in Archway, London. He studied performing arts at the Arts Depot in Finchley and became part of the Young Actors Theatre in Islington. Duncan told Digital Spy "Acting is something that I've always wanted to do, for as long as I can remember. I remember being at primary school and doing a play, and that was probably the first time when I thought it could be for me." Duncan is a fan of Arsenal F.C. "I think, most of the time, Callum is the kind of character who just doesn't really want to be bothered by anything or anyone. He wants to do his own thing, get on with his own life, and he's very introverted" but "Callum is very caring deep down." Laurie has also confessed that he "doesn't get" Callum's heart-throb status "That's Callum, not me." in October 2013, Callum was killed off. His exit came as part of a "cast cull", which coincided with the show's 18th anniversary. Duncan's departure from the show was kept secret to ensure viewers would be surprised. The actor later admitted that he cried when he learned that he was leaving.

Duncan joined the Army Reserve in 2016 and is currently serving with the Honourable Artillery Company based in the City of London.
