This is Adam Sopp, I play 'Darren' in Grange Hill. And here is my Star File!

 

Age: 15

DOB: 27 August 1986

TV: Darren Clarke in GRANGE HILL (BBC 1999)

ADAM ON DARREN: I'm quite different to Darren in real life. I feel Darren still has a lot of growing up to do, and although he normally looks to be confident in most situations, he can still be very naive. However, he does try and be as nice to everyone as possible which I try and do myself, you never know who going to bump into again in this industry!

 
 

HOBBIES: In my spare time I like to listen to lots of music, and I like to write songs as well. Although my favourite music is garage, my tastes are still very eclectic and I'll listen to almost anything.

ON FAME... As an actor I treat each job equally and like it's my last. Although I'm only young, this industry is so flippant that you need to keep that frame of mind. However, being in Grange Hill does mean you have to do justice to the program due to its legacy. I'd like to carry on being an actor, hopefully gong on to bigger and better things but first I'd like to go to a drama college like RADA. Among the cast I mainly hang around with Arnold Oceng (Calvin), Amanda Fhay (Shannon), Rob Stuart (Matt), and Kacey Barnfield (Maddie). However, we do all get on really well and every one becomes a part of your extended family rather than just a mate.

FAMILY: In my family I have my Mum and Dad; and and my two older sisters Melinda and Olivia. My Mum, Mary, is a hearing resource assistant, my Dad, Chris, is an insurance broker, Melinda is in her final year studying law at Westminster university and Olivia is in her first year studying Bio-Medical science at Canterbury university.
