Born and raised in Essex and having graduated from Italian Conti in 2007, Kent’s first major acting break was in a horror flick the following year.
While his various acting credits include ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’, ‘Marshal’s Law’, ‘Bloody Cuts’, ‘The Frankenstein Chronicles’, ‘Blood Drive’ and ‘Birds Sorrow’ among others, the actor was prominently known for featuring in the Emmy-winning fantasy series ‘Game of Thrones’, in a role of a goatherd in Slavers Bay.
Moreover, he was most recently seen in Jonathan Goldstein’s ‘Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’.
Kent bagged the best actor trophy at the Van D’or Awards in 2012 for his role of Danny – a boy with a rare skin condition that did not allow him to be in the sun – in ‘Sunny Boy’, the disorder he battled with in real life as well, in addition to osteoporosis and arthritis.
