Early life

Hawley, son of Christine and Steve, spent his childhood partly in Sheffield and partly in the UAE due to his parents' work.[1]

In school, Hawley took A-Level Media Studies and took part in numerous school plays, subsequently realising his dream of becoming a film director was very difficult.[1] Hawley went to university and trained to become an actor at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, England.[2]

Career

Hawley's acting career began in 2007, when he began to appear in a number of television series, films and stage productions. He made his television debut in the pilot of American series Life Is Wild as Tim. In 2013, he appeared in Devil's Pass, a Russian-British horror film, as Andy Thatcher.

In 2014, Hawley was cast in his most prominent role as Robert Sugden on the ITV soap opera Emmerdale, becoming the fourth actor to portray the character.

He has received critical acclaim for his portrayal and has been nominated for several awards, including "Best Villain" and "Best Actor" at The British Soap Awards.[3]

In June 2019, it was announced that Hawley would be leaving Emmerdale after five years with his exit airing on 1 November 2019.[4]

In 2013, Hawley married Daisy Prestes de Oliviera.[5]
