Dustin Demri-Burns rose to fame as one half of the BAFTA-nominated sketch and British Comedy Award-winning act Cardinal Burns and has since established himself as a versatile and in-demand actor. He has amassed an impressive list of credits over the past several years, from major studio comedy movies to critically lauded, internationally successful dramas.
This year, Dustin will be seen in the highly anticipated adaptation of THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE as Saucepan Man, playing opposite Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy. He will also be seen in a lead role in the second series of Apple TV+ CRIMINAL RECORD.
Other recent credits include: upcoming Amazon MGM feature - CLOSE PERSONAL FRIENDS, alongside Brie Larson; a regular role in in BBC One drama DOPE GIRLS; and the co-lead role in two series of rave-reviewed BBC One comedy - AM I BEING UNREASONABLE.
Further significant TV credits from the past few years: SLOW HORSES (Apple), THE DECAMERON (Netflix), SWEETPEA (Sky/Starz), STATH LETS FLATS (C4), FLATSHARE (Paramount+), and THE GREAT (Hulu/C4) for Sky and Starz. Further film credits include: co-lead role in indie hit ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME, Viktor in Lionsgate’s comedy THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME.
The Guardian labelled Cardinal Burns as one of the top 50 comedians of the 21st century, and their eponymous Channel 4 show remains a cult classic.
