Timeline

1987

Michael Robert Socha (born 13 December 1987) is an English actor, known for his roles in the films This Is England and Summer, and the television series This Is England '86, '88, '90, Being Human, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and the BBC Three miniseries Our World War.

He is the godson of magician’s assistant Debbie McGee.

Socha was born in Derby, Derbyshire, England, to Kathleen Lyons ("Kath") and Robert Socha, on 13 December 1987.

He is the older brother of actress Lauren Socha, star of the Channel 4 comedy-drama Misfits.

Socha was brought up in Littleover, a suburb of Derby, and attended St Benedict Catholic School.

Socha was a rebellious pupil.

He often skipped school, but when forced to attend he tried to make it fun by doing the things he was most interested in.

When Socha was 12, his mother read in a local newspaper about a play being cast by the Chellaston Youth Players.

She asked her son and daughter if they wanted to try out for it, and both did.

Socha's motivation for auditioning was his anger at being denied a role in the musical and his desire to prove his teachers wrong about his acting skills.

He won the lead role of Bugsy Malone in the play.

He acted in several plays for the group, but by his own admission did not take acting very seriously.

Through teachers at Socha's school the family learned about the Central Junior Television Workshop, a free actors' workshop for young people from the Nottingham area.

He enrolled in the course when he was 14, but was almost refused admission as he had failed to learn the monologue for his audition and was put in the "reserve group".

His second audition went the same way, but the programme relented and allowed him in after a time.

Socha says the workshop had a strong impact on him, and he began working hard at acting.

His first professional role came when he was cast in a small part in a short film.

He was quickly cast in several small parts subsequently, and hired an agent.

Socha's father had a long history of alcohol abuse, and his parents separated.

2004

In 2004, Robert Socha died of an alcohol-related heart attack.

According to Kathleen, the death of his father made her son very independent.

"Michael was walking the streets of London at 16 going to auditions. He had to because I was working. He'd go off with a map and Tube fare."

Socha liked drama, English and history courses, however, and received his GCSEs in those three subjects.

He credits his teacher, Mrs Urquhart-Hughes, as someone who watched over him, motivated him, and got him to do his homework after school.

His first job after leaving school was in a factory.

He disliked it and quit, and enrolled at Burton & South Derbyshire College, a further education college.

He worked at two other factories after leaving school, as well as at a car wash.

He also worked as a labourer for his uncle's bricklaying firm, mixing mortar for the bricklayers, but as he was constantly taking time off work at the last moment to attend auditions he quit working full-time and dedicated himself to acting.

Socha's breakthrough role came early in his acting career.

2006

In 2006, he was cast as school bully Harvey in Shane Meadows skinhead subculture film, This Is England.

2008

In 2008, he was cast in Kenneth Glenaan's BAFTA Scotland-award winning film Summer, where he acted opposite Robert Carlyle.

The same year, he appeared in Duane Hopkins film Better Things and the independent small-budget comedy Dogging: A Love Story.

He also appeared in three episodes of the BBC One medical drama Casualty.

2009

In February 2009, Socha made his stage debut at Nottingham Playhouse in Glamour, a comedy by Stephen Lowe.

The same year, he appeared in an episode of the science fiction police drama Paradox on BBC One and in the made-for-television film The Unloved for Channel 4.

Despite his initial success, Socha was "penniless" and "waiting for work" for much of 2009 and early 2010, sitting at home and watching daytime television.

His next big break came when Shane Meadows asked him to reprise the role of Harvey the bully for a four-part television series for Channel 4.

The series, This Is England '86, follows the lives of the film's characters three years after the events originally depicted.

2010

It aired in September 2010.

That same year, Socha appeared in an episode of the television comedy Married Single Other as well as the film Bonded by Blood.
