HarrisDickinson’s directorial debut with "Urchin" was a leap of faith for the fast-rising actor. Since its premiere at #CannesFilmFestival, the drama about a young homeless man in London struggling with addiction and mental health has taken home both a critics’ prize and a best actor award for its star, Frank Dillane. “I’ve been wanting to make films my whole life, and I’ve earned my stripes in order to get to this place,” Dickinson tells Vogue. At the link in bio, the actor shares more on his persistence in the industry, his experience behind the camera, and his upcoming role as John Lennon in Sam Mendes’s Beatles film series.
