The family escaped from Rwanda during the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 and settled in Scotland.

They lived in Oxgangs in Edinburgh, and moved to Dunfermline when he was age 15.

Gatwa attended Boroughmuir High School and Dunfermline High School before moving to Glasgow to study at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting in 2013.

While studying, he worked at the LGBTQ+ club The Polo Lounge, handing out flyers and later becoming a go-go dancer.

The Conservatoire awarded him an honorary doctorate at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.

After graduating, Gatwa was granted a position in the Dundee Repertory Theatre acting graduation scheme where he performed in several productions including David Greig's Victoria.

Around this time, Gatwa was attacked by three strangers in the street who fractured his jaw; this was fixed with titanium.

2014

He was nominated for an Ian Charleson Award for his performance as Mercutio in a 2014 production of Romeo & Juliet at HOME.

Gatwa’s breakout role in Sex Education earned him a BAFTA Scotland Award and three BAFTA Television Award nominations for Best Male Comedy Performance.

He had a brief role in the 2014 sitcom Bob Servant, which was also set and filmed in Dundee.

In 2014, Gatwa received a Commendation at the Ian Charleson Awards for his 2014 performance of Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet at Home, Manchester.

For five months prior to this casting, he had been homeless after running out of savings, and had couch surfed.

Gatwa received praise for his portrayal of Eric from critics, particularly for how his character was not relegated to the cliché of "gay or black best friend slash sidekick stock character".

2020

He has earned numerous accolades for the role, including a BAFTA Scotland Award for Best Actor in Television in 2020, and three BAFTA Television Award nominations for Best Male Comedy Performance, one in 2020, 2021 and 2022 consecutively.

He was expected to take over the role in the third and final of the 2022 specials in October 2022, but the final Thirteenth Doctor story "The Power of the Doctor" revealed that Gatwa would play the Fifteenth Doctor, with David Tennant (who had previously played the Tenth Doctor) returning to play the Fourteenth Doctor.

Gatwa publicly came out as queer in an August 2023 interview with Elle magazine, having previously avoided discussing his sexuality in spite of popular speculation for his "safety and mental health."

In the interview, Gatwa noted that he preferred not to label himself, and that he had been inspired by both his work on Sex Education and an encounter with a Rwandan woman at Manchester Pride some years prior, having "never met another queer Rwandan person before".

He later stated that he had "never been in the closet, you know. I just never talked about it. The work I do is what’s important."

Gatwa enjoys astrology, and is a Libra.
