Kealan McAllister
Hello! I’m Kealan it was only when I finished my MSci Physics with Astrophysics course that I decided to fully pursue being a professional actor. After years of amateur stage experience in my university’s drama society, I joined a professional training programme at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast. This culminated in me fulfilling my dream to act in a stage production in the theatre in May 2022, playing the part of Mr Banks in a production of Jessica Swale’s Blue Stockings. However, I have many other dreams to fulfill too, so I won’t let my journey end here!
