Stepping into the shoes of Lord Samadani – a suitor Queen Charlotte has her eye on for Francesca Bridgerton – David Mumeni isn’t your average TV actor. From playing the hilariously awkward Cem in the small-screen comedy Stath Lets Flats, to nabbing roles in the major action films Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), to bringing “Footrub Ken” to life in the Barbie movie (2023), Mumeni’s credits are as diverse as they are impressive.

Off screen, Mumeni is the founder of Open Door, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping underprivileged kids in the UK get into drama school, per the National Youth Theatre.

2. Victor Alli

Before embodying the charismatic Lord John Stirling, Victor Alli won over audiences with performances in the TV drama The Man Who Fell to Earth and the Oscar-winning coming-of-age drama Belfast (2021). Sci-fi aficionados might recognise him from the critically acclaimed Star Wars spin-off for TV, Andor.

The British actor, who graduated from the London-based Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2019, originally set his sights on a music career before a random brush with authority led him in a new direction. In an interview with L’Officiel, he revealed that a detention led him to read lines for a teacher, sparking his passion for the craft of acting.
