David Jonsson is a British actor who has gained an international following this year thanks to his performance as the ‘synthetic human’ Andy in Alien: Romulus. The latest instalment of the sci-fi horror franchise follows a group of space colonizers as they come face-to-face with the most terrifying life form in the universe while scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station.

Commenting on his nomination, David Jonsson said: “This is bonkers…Thank you BAFTA, EE and the wonderful jury for this nomination. As a young boy growing up in East London, I couldn’t think of an honour that’s more about the people, and proof that you can do it too. An absolute blessing and dream. Thank you, truly.”
