Frederic Wilhelm C. J. Sjöström[1] (born 8 January 1987[2]), known professionally as Freddie Stroma, is a British-French[3] actor. He is known for his work in roles including Cormac McLaggen in the Harry Potter film series, Adam Cromwell on the Lifetime series Unreal, Brit Vayner in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016), H. G. Wells in the ABC series Time After Time, and Adrian Chase / Vigilante in the DC Extended Universe series Peacemaker.

Early life

Stroma was born 8 January 1987 in London, England, to father Stefan Sjöström, a Swedish computer industry executive, and German-French mother Crystal Kupper, and grew up in Ascot, England in Berkshire, about 25 miles west of London.[3] He was educated at Sunningdale School and the boys-only boarding school Radley College in Oxfordshire, leaving in 2005.[4][1][5] He has an older sister, Antonia Sjöström, and a younger brother, Philipp Sjöström.[3]

When he was 16, Stroma was accepted to the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.[3] He had roles on various British TV shows, including Casualty and BBC's detective show, Mayo (aka The Gil Mayo Mysteries). While studying neuroscience at University College London,[5] Stroma continued to work as an actor and model. He took a year off from university to play the role of Cormac McLaggen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. After filming was over, Stroma completed his degree at University College London.[3] In 2009, he attained a 2:1 BSc (an upper-second-class degree) in Neuroscience.[5]

Career

During his time at university, Stroma was cast in the role as Cormac McLaggen first in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, a role he reprised in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Parts 1 and 2.

Stroma played the role of Cool Brett in the crime-thriller film 4.3.2.1.

Stroma appeared in the direct-to-DVD romantic film A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song as a British student, Luke Morgan. He played opposite Katie Gibbs (played by Lucy Hale) as her love interest.

He had a minor role in Pitch Perfect, a 2012 comedy about the world of collegiate a cappella choirs.[6] He played a radio station manager at the local college radio station.[7]

In 2014, he was cast in the role of Jack in the psychological thriller After the Dark, which was formerly known as The Philosophers, with his former Harry Potter co-star Bonnie Wright.[8] The film was shot on location in Jakarta.[9]

In June 2015, Stroma was one of the romantic interests, Adam Cromwell, in the Lifetime dramedy Unreal.[10] He plays British bachelor who is competing on a fictionalized The Bachelor-type reality show called Everlasting.[11] Stroma's character is manipulated as much as the women who are vying for his attention in the show that is a behind-the-scenes view of reality dating shows.[12][13]

Unreal was picked up for a second season[14][15] but Stroma had said that he does not think his character will be back.[16] However, during a Paley Center panel on Unreal[17] he said that he is hopeful as the show will continue to feature Everlasting.[18] After the season 1 finale, Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, one of the co-creators of Unreal, confirmed that Stroma would be back in season 2.[19]

Stroma had a role in the Michael Bay film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016), playing Yale University graduate student Brit Vayner, an undercover CIA officer in Libya.[20]

In 2020, he played a guest role on Netflix's period drama Bridgerton, appearing as Prince Frederick of Prussia opposite Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page.[21]

Personal life

Stroma said he modelled (and acted) to help pay for university. He modelled for Acne Underwear in their Underwear Collection Autumn/Winter 2008.[9][22] He uses Stroma as a surname instead of Sjöström because there is an NHL player named Fredrik Sjöström. Stroma plays guitar and can sing but he is not classically trained in either.[9]

Stroma began dating his Unreal co-star Johanna Braddy in the summer of 2015.[23] Stroma and Braddy became engaged in May 2016,[24] and were married on 30 December 2016, in Atlanta, Georgia.[25]
