We bring even more local talent who, without forgetting where they've come from, have had very illustrious and recognised careers in the film industry

Midlands on the Move: Midlanders Who Made The Move

By midlandsmovies • October 19, 2025
The Midlands is home to a huge pool of talent – both on and off-screen – and although many of these names are synonymous with the region, others, who definitely hail from the area, may be more of a surprise to hear about. These local creatives moved onwards in their careers, building upon their local upbringing and education in the arts and headed to larger projects and some even delved into the world of glitzy Hollywood.  So, away from the legends such as Lenny Henry (Dudley), Julie Walters (Smethwick), John Hurt (Chesterfield) and director Shane Meadows (Uttoxeter, Staffs) we’re going to look at a few recognisable names who, sadly, don’t always make you think of our marvellous Midlands. Yet you definitely should do!
