Biography
Jay Lycurgo is a rising British actor celebrated for his ability to balance high-concept genre roles with gritty social realism. Originally a dedicated football player, inspired by his father, former professional footballer David Johnson—Lycurgo pivoted to acting at age 17. After being rejected by the BRIT School, a teacher encouraged him to pursue drama school, leading him to graduate from ArtsEd in 2019. His breakthrough came in 2021 when he was cast as Tim Drake (Robin) in the DC series Titans, making him one of the few actors of mixed heritage to play a live-action superhero. In late 2025 and early 2026, his career reached a new peak with his portrayal of the troubled teenager Shy in the Netflix drama Steve. His performance, which involved deep psychological preparation and "isolating" himself in his role, earned him a British Independent Film Award (BIFA) for Best Supporting Performance.
