Victor Alli is a rising star in the industry who is best recognized for his stunning performance in The Glass Menagerie at London’s Duke of York Theatre opposite Amy Adams. He is also known for appearing in a few short films in 2014 and 2016.
However, Victor's big break came in 2021 when he was cast in Kenneth Branagh's coming-of-age drama film Belfast. Since then he has been cast in several shows and films.
The London-grown actor has appeared in films like Grantchester, Death on the Nile, and Amazon Prime's Last Light, as well as Showtime’s The Man Who Fell To Earth, and Disney’s Andor. Apart from movies and series, he has also modeled for plush brand Oliver Spencer. Talking about his venture into acting to Oliver Spencer's blog, Alli said:
"I was quite a mischievous kid at school and would always get detentions. Until one day, the teacher who was conducting the detention, was also directing a play and the lead actor didn’t turn up. So she handed me the script and said I should take over, consequently beginning the journey down the path of acting."
Victor Alli is joined by actress Hannah Dodd who replaces Ruby Stokes as Francesca Bridgerton in Bridgerton season 3.
Who is Lord John Stirling in Bridgerton season 3?
Lord John Stirling makes his debut in Bridgerton season 3 as Francesca Bridgerton's love interest. Described as reserved and introverted, he catches Francesca's attention and the young pair form a deep connection and a unique bond, embarking on an unusual romantic journey in this new season.
Talking about his entry into the series with Tatler, Alli reflects:
"It's something we have spoken about a lot; how unconventional this story is and how heartbreaking it is as well."
Remarking on his character, Alli said:
"He's quite private but he has a sense of self. He's quite charming, he has a self-depreciating sense of humor. For fans who have read the book, they will know who this character is and the journey he goes on with Francesca…If you've read the book or you know the story, you know what happens to John and what happens next.”
While the actor withdraws from hinting at any expected conclusions to the love story, Alli's portrayal of John Stirling adds depth and nuance to the much-loved Netflix period drama, as he expresses the themes of love, loss, and resilience through his character's unique and tragic story.
