Who is Abhin Galeya?

Abhin Galeya is a British stage and screen actor. He trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and won his first professional role at the National Theatre before he graduated. From there he has steadily worked his way through numerous TV, film and theatre roles.

Recently he played one of the lead roles in the terrorist thriller Cleanskin, starring Sean Bean, Charlotte Rampling, James Fox, Michelle Ryan and Tuppence Middleton. He gained a positive critical reception for his performance in this. Variety wrote 'Bean is as watchable as ever, as is the consistently impressive Galeya.' Screen International referred to Abhin Galeya as 'perhaps the real star of the film,' and also wrote 'Sean Bean and Abhin Galeya have the gravitas.' The Peoples Movies wrote 'Galeya embodies perfectly the two sides of his character. The Arts Desk wrote 'the enemies in this case are in the lean and brooding form of Ash. GQ wrote of the character Ash 'played by the scene stealing Abhin Galeya.'

Other film work includes starring opposite James Mcavoy, Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst in the film Wimbledon and playing the lead role in the indie feature The Blue Tower which went on to win the 'Best UK Feature' award at the 2008 Raindance Film Festival.
