BBC Call the Midwife's Reggie star Daniel Laurie's real-life from age to soap star dad
Share:
Call the Midwife is set to return with two festive specials, followed by the 14th series in the new year. Daniel Laurie will be reprising his role as Reggie Jackson in this beloved BBC period drama. Reggie, a character known for his kindness, first graced our screens in Poplar during the sixth series in 2017. His mother tragically passed away from a heart attack while visiting a church, leaving Reggie waiting for her at home in scenes that tugged at our heartstrings.
The compassionate nuns and nurses of Nonnatus House swiftly stepped in to care for Reggie until his distant cousin Fred Buckle (played by Cliff Parisi) took him under his wing. Violet Buckle (portrayed by Annabelle Apsion) and Fred now consider Reggie as their own son.
Given that Reggie has Down syndrome, he was offered a permanent spot at the Glasshouse Trust, a facility catering to young adults with disabilities. He frequently visits his family and friends in the East End. However, outside the realm of this period drama, Daniel boasts a famous father and has also made appearances in other popular TV shows. Here's everything you need to know about the TV star as Call the Midwife makes its comeback.
Born in 1995, Daniel is currently 29 years old. In his late teens, he attended a drama school in London. However, he revealed that he had to leave education due to bullying before he found fame on the BBC period drama. He opened up about his battles with bullies, which led him to leave school and find comfort in launching an acting career at the tender age of 17.
