Career

Boyle grew up in Heywood, Greater Manchester, England. It was in his final preparations for a teaching degree at University that Boyle was spotted by a casting director at an open audition for a film. Instead of going to the final interviews for his degree he made the decision to go to the recalls for the film, which fell on the same day. He was trained in drama at the Oldham Theatre Workshop. Whilst at college Boyle was auditioned by the casting agent David Shaw for a film called Love + Hate, getting a small role in the film as Steve.[1][2]

He has since appeared in various TV and film roles, including the awarding series The Street, Instinct and Land Girls. His most well known performance was as Elvis in the movie Awaydays.[1] Liam subsequently appeared as Keva McCluskey in Powder, which was the second film adaptation of a Kevin Sampson novel after Awaydays.

He appeared in the ITV1 series Scott & Bailey as Dominic Bailey, the brother of DC Rachel Bailey. Dominic has recently got out of prison and is staying with Rachel to help get himself back on his feet.[3] In 2013 he appeared in Skins Rise as Louis.

gollark: Although in our English lessons I generally ended up having time to reread the book a fwe times while we were doing it. So boring.

gollark: Sounds fun *and* totally safe!
gollark: What's that log thing from?
