Career

[edit]

Acting and Modelling

[edit]

Street's first experience of modelling came while competing in the Mister Wales 2011 pageant[3][4] where he finished first runner up, using the event to shoe-horn his way into the industry. He would later represent Wales at Mr World 2016.[5][6][7]

While building a career as a model, Street began working as a stand-in for a number of other actors including Chris Hemsworth, Ryan Reynolds & Callum Turner[8] before landing his first acting role in Dark Temple Motion Pictures' Escape From Cannibal Farm[9] for director Charlie Steeds. Street collaborated once more with Steeds on his next picture The House of Violent Desire.[10]

In August 2019, following an audition at West London Film Studios, he was invited to join the cast of the new Apple TV+ production, Ted Lasso, where he would appear in the role of Paul Reynolds throughout all three seasons.

In June 2020, as part of the BFI Network x BAFTA Crew Mentoring programme,[11] Street joined a team of independent filmmakers to create Double Word Score[12][13] a 90-second short film exploring a blossoming romance between two neighbours as they self-isolate during the coronavirus pandemic.

In September 2022, while filming season 3 of Ted Lasso, Street performed in a week-long theatre run of the stage adaptation of Blackadder Goes Forth at The Pump House Theatre, Watford in the title role of Edmund Blackadder. In 2024 he played Tom Watson in The Girl on The Train at the same theatre.

In 2025 Street was revealed as one of the dealers for season one of the UK version of Genius Game.

Directing and Producing

[edit]

In 2023, Street collaborated with producer Tobias Phillips to write, produce and direct Hanging,[14] a short comedy film, narrated by James Lance, about a young woman, struggling with a hangover, who finds herself locked out of the house. Hanging would be the first production from Street's production company Film Béduer Street and Phillips continue to collaborate on a number of Film Béduer projects at various stages of development including Canine, Haul and The Grower.[15]
