Ray’s diverse on-screen acting credits include films Barbie, Beauty and the Beast, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Hamlet, and his wide-ranging TV roles include His Dark Materials, Fleabag, Da Vinci’s Demons and Coronation Street. He is also an Associate Artist at the Royal Shakespeare Company. “I’ve always mentored students and young performers from various institutions, so it felt right to be able to return to Rose Bruford College, where I had a fabulous three years’ training to become an actor, to continue to help young performers,” said Ray.
