Micky McGregor’s love for the screen arts happened purely by chance: after being ejected from a school lesson for misbehaviour, he was made to sit in on a drama class and a desire to pursue a career in the arts quickly blossomed.
The Tyne and Wear-born actor graduated with an HND in Drama, Applied Theatre and Education in 2010 and he has been honing his talent ever since. His early stage credits were followed by a television debut in the BAFTA-nominated series Wolfblood (CBBC) in 2016. That same year, he landed a small but memorable part in Ken Loach’s hard-hitting social drama I, Daniel Blake, which won BAFTA’s Outstanding British Film category in 2017. This was the first of three collaborations with Loach and his long-time writing collaborator, Paul Laverty, with roles following in Sorry We Missed You (2019) and The Old Oak (2023) – both films were also nominated for Outstanding British Film.
Micky also appeared in Babak Anvari’s eagerly awaited follow-up to Under the Shadow, titled I Came By (Netflix), in 2022. Other recent roles include a guest spot in crime drama Vera (ITV) and a turn in World Production mini-series The Hunt for Raoul Moat (ITV), both in 2023. He was recently cast for a role in season two of police procedural series Ridley (ITV).
Micky also co-founded Blowin’ A Hooley Theatre, a company dedicated to improving access to theatre, particularly for North East audiences and artists, and showcasing authentic stories to typically non-theatre goers. As well as touring plays, such as original work Notice to Move, the company offers talent development and runs school workshops and community programmes.
