Colin Morgan

Colin Morgan (b. 1 January 1986) is an Irish actor who portrays the title character of the BBC television series Merlin.

This is Morgan's first major TV acting role. His previous credits have included the Doctor Who episode "Midnight" (as Jethro), and an episode of The Catherine Tate Show.

According to Anthony Head, Colin Morgan is actualy allergic to tomatoes, which is rather odd considering how often Merlin is thrown in the stocks! (Anthony Head said this during a DVD audio commentary for Series One)
