Alfie Williams, the British teenage actor who enjoyed a major breakout last year thanks to his lead role in “28 Years Later,” has landed U.S. representation.
Following what it described as a “highly competitive situation involving all major agencies,” Gersh has now signed the 15-year-old for representation in all areas.
Williams became one of the buzziest young names in 2025 following his highly acclaimed turn in “28 Years Later,” Danny Boyle’s long-awaited revival of his hit zombie franchise that landed almost a quarter-century after the genre-defining original “28 Days Later.” As the face of the film, he played Spike, a young boy battling it out against the infected in a post-apocalyptic Britain alongside co-stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes.
The youngster reprised his role with the quick-fire sequel “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” with Spike having joined Jack O’Connell’s murderous cult The Jimmys. The film — this time directed by Nia DaCosta — released in early 2026.
For his efforts in “28 Years Later” and “The Bone Temple,” Williams was named in Variety‘s list of Brits to Watch, presented at the Newport Beach Film Festival U.K. awards. He was also named in Forbes 30 under 30.
Williams will next be seen in starring opposite Meghann Fahy in the supernatural thriller “Banquet,” from “The Platform” franchise director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia and a film he shot immediately after “The Bone Temple.”
Speaking to Variety earlier in the year, Williams said he’d like to move into a different genre, “make a sci-fi or a Western,” citing “Fallout” and “The Boys.”
Williams continues to be represented by Independent Talent Group in London.
