Meet the Croydon actor who went from rejection to lead role on Apple TV
Briefly

Stephen Stallone, a rising actor from Croydon, is gaining attention on Apple TV after transitioning from local drama stages to Hollywood. His path has been challenging, marked by balancing family life with filming commitments in LA. Dropped by his US manager amidst budget cuts from a writers' strike, Stallone had to navigate tough decisions regarding his career and home life, especially with a young daughter. Despite these obstacles, he remains ambitious, with plans for future projects, demonstrating that success can stem from humble beginnings.
It's a weird way of life. But I'm so proud of myself. I'm quite an ambitious person and always asking what's the next project.
When the writers' strike happened, it really affected budgets. It got quite quiet.

They said no and pretty much dropped me. It was rough. And I had to decide between my family and my career.
