Early life Discipline was born on 8 May 1989 in Gravesend, Kent. He became interested acting through working for a theatre lighting company while at school.

Career In November 2010, Discipline was working on Billingsgate Fish Market when he was informed by his agent of an audition for the part of Tyler Moon in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, the youngest son of already established character Eddie Moon (David Essex), brother of Anthony (Matt Lapinskas) and Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) and cousin of Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). Following his initial audition, he took part in a workshop two weeks later in which there were six actors shortlisted to play Tyler and six shortlisted to play Anthony. The actors were paired off, and Discipline was paired with Lapinskas. A month later, Discipline attended a screen test, and after a further screen test, he found out he had got the part.
