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.

Last year, Dustin filmed the highly anticipated adaptation of The Magic Faraway Tree as Saucepan Man, playing opposite Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy.

He can recently be seen in a regular role in BBC One’s drama Dope Girls and has also reprised his co-lead role in series 2 of Am I Being Unreasonable for BBC One.

Recent significant TV credits include: the regular role of Min in the first two series of Apple’s hit show Slow Horses, opposite Gary Oldman; a recurring role in The Decameron for Netflix; the regular role of Jeff in Sweetpea for Sky and Starz; the role of Voltaire in three series of The Great for Hulu and Channel 4; and the regular role of Phil in Flatshare for Paramount+.

Further TV credits include Britannia for Sky, Turn Up Charlie for Netflix, and two series playing Julian in the multi-BAFTA-winning comedy Stath Lets Flats for Channel 4.

Film credits include a major role in indie hit All My Friends Hate Me, a lead role in Tales from the Lodge, and the role of Viktor in Lionsgate’s 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.
