Zac Cudby
Zac Cudby makes his Feature Film Debut in The Railway Children Return releasing across cinemas from 15 July 2022.
Zac plays the part of Ted, one of the three evacuee children.
This brand new film produced by Jemma Rodgers for Studiocanal and directed by Morgan Matthews, sees the triumphant return of Jenny Agutter, reprising her role as Roberta "Bobbie" Waterbury, who is now grown up
Zac was born in Nuneaton, previously lived in Leicestershire before the family relocated to south of Manchester in July 2020. Through his older sister, father and his grandmother, all being involved in Amateur dramatics, Zac found his way onto stage at school plays and nativities initially, before being cast in a television commercial for Pukka Pies in 2019. A role for a pantomime at the historically famous Century Theatre in Coalville followed in January 2020 directed by Aleyn Lester in the production of Cinderella. For his first ever live performance he took to the stage very naturally showing great character, and even read in for main parts in rehearsals if people weren't able to make it, because he had memorised the whole script! (The Century Theatre is a theatre that toured the country after the Second World War, as it was a mobile theatre, and spent a lot of the time in the North West. After all the bombings, the century theatre being successful in an area, demonstrated that there was a demand for a theatre locally to be built back. The theatre now takes up permanent residence in Coalville) Ever the team player, in March 2020, he spent time helping build the set with a team of volunteers at the Little Theatre, where his dad and grandmother were due to be treading the boards in Blue Stockings (the show only had one performance before being postponed due to Covid)
Zac is learning to play the drums, he constantly makes his friends and family laugh with his wise cracks/cheeky personality, and he loves playing on his games console in his spare time. He applied for and was taken on by Spotted Talent in January 2021, and was quickly requested to self tape for a feature film in February 2021.
