A former University of Sunderland student has landed two roles in film and TV.
Chris Farfouris, who was studying screen performance, auditioned for a key character role in a new television drama set in Spain and landed the lead role in a new film calls Shakespeare has Died, which will start production later this year in South America.
The 20-year-old, who is originally from Greece, credits part of his success to the skills he gained on Wearside during his Screen Performance degree.
He also thanked his tutors for allowing him to complete his course work online while filming in Spain.
