Bio

Aml Ameen is an English actor best known for his role as Trife in the 2006 feature film Kidulthood; and for his television roles as Lewis Hardy in The Bill (2002-2007) and as Malcolm Davies in Harry's Law, from 2011-2012.

Ameen began his career at the age of seven when he attended the Barbara Speake Stage School in West London, where he showed a passion and talent for dancing, singing and acting.

He landed his first TV role in the British children's series 123 Hullabuloo. At age 11, Ameen starred in his first stage role, playing young Sammy Davis, Jr. in the West End production of Jolson.

He went on to a leading role in the West End musical Oliver, and continued with many stage performances, including touring with his own choreographed tap dance and performing with Michael Jackson at the 1996 Brit Awards with Jarvis Cocker.

Upon graduation, Ameen landed the coveted role of Trife in the cult classic British indie film, Kidulthood. His highly acclaimed performance and the film's rave reviews earned Ameen a nomination for Best Newcomer at the 2006 Screen Nation Awards, as well as a spot in The London Times' list of best new actors of the year.

Ameen also won the 2007 Screen Nation Award for Best Actor on the BAFTA Award-winning hit series The Bill.

Before venturing to Hollywood in 2010, Ameen returned to the London stage starring in three plays simultaneously off the West End. His portrayals of three very different characters once again earned him unparalleled critical reviews.

In Detaining Justice, Ameen plays the title character Justice, a Zimbabwean asylum seeker fleeing persecution for his political views. In Category B, he portrayed a convicted rapist who finds his faith in prison, and in Seize the Day, he played an intellectual street kid, likened to Tupac Shakur.

Along with his acting career, Ameen has set up his own production company. He plans to continue down both the acting and directing paths, while spending as much time in Los Angeles as possible.
