Ivan Rheon (Iwan Rheon), known to the public as Simon from the TV series “Dumpsters”, was born in 1985 in the city of Cartamen in the family of an accountant and a social worker – people very far from the theater and cinema. And Ivan himself, until the age of 17, seemed not to think about an artistic career, but for the first time appeared on the stage in the youth theater.
Ivan Reon made his debut at the Welsh soap opera Pobol y Cwm. The first performance was quite successful, but, as Ivan Reon later admitted, he was not yet sure that he wanted to become an artist. I like a lot of things, including marine biology. But then he entered the London Academy of Musical and Theatre Arts. And after its completion, he played in the musical “Spring Awakening” at the London Lyrical Theatre, and then at the Novello Theatre. For this role, he was nominated for the What's On Stage Award (as a promising young actor), and was later awarded the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor. The award inspired the actor. “It was an amazing feeling of being in the seventh heaven,” he later said.
One of Ivan Reon’s best roles is in John Osborne’s The Devil Inside Him. It's a play about troubled teenagers. Ivan Reon himself does not look at his age, resembling a teenager. About his hero, the actor speaks with sympathy, although the obvious outsider and slightly out of this world: “He is very poetic and sees the world differently than others.” And he wants to be free, which, according to the actor, unites the character with himself.
In 2011, Ivan Reon played the role of Simon Bellamy in the TV series “Misfits”. For this role, he was nominated for the Golden Nymph as the best actor of a drama series.
In addition to theater and cinema, Reon is engaged in music. He has already released two solo albums. He also watches fashion and dresses ultramodernly. /
