Full Bio
Ameen was born in London, to Jamaican and Vincentian parents. He learned his acting craft at the Barbara Speake Stage School, an independent school in London. As a child he appeared in West End in shows such as “Oliver!” and “Jolson.” At the age of 11 he performed on stage with Michael Jackson at the 1996 BRIT Awards, in a performance famously invaded by Pulp’s singer Jarvis Cocker. Ameen’s first acting role was in 2004’s “Bella and the Boys,” in which he played the character Terry.
His next role was a one-off appearance in an episode of the BBC television series “Holby City.” He also starred in the British youth-centred film “Kidulthood” as the central character Trife and now he’s starring again in “Second Chance and Red Tails” for a special appearance. He played PC Lewis Hardy in the long-running ITV police series “The Bill,” his most famous and popular role to date.
Ameen featured in a film on Channel 4 called “Fallout,” part of their Disarming Britain mini-season. The London Lite paper described this as his most memorable performance. Ameen featured as AJ in “Silent Witness Series 12” Parts 1 and 2. He portrayed a youth worker trying to make a difference in the gang and knife community which presides South London, and became friends with Leo, one of the senior pathologists doing community service for drink driving.
In June 2008 Ameen began A.S.A (Actors Student Alliance) a drama school set up to discover and teach untapped talent in London. From its inception the school has gone on to producing a short film and a theatre showcase for its students. Now in its second year the school has expanded into a management company. Ameen performed at Tricycle Theatre on the Not Black and White season in October 2009. Described as “exceptionally charismatic Aml Ameen the freshest, most inspiring voice in the play by Time Out London.” He received outstanding reviews in the National press. Ameen starred in Jason Barrett’s British feature film The Naked Poet, where he played character Ryan for which he won best actor at the V.I.P.F awards in 2010 for his performance.
Ameen also starred in David E. Kelley’s legal drama “Harry’s Law” in the first season, which began to air on NBC during the 2011 television season.
Aml had his first Hollywood film role in George Lucas’s “Red Tails,” about the African American Tuskegee airman in World War II. Aml starred alongside Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard. He played Alby in the film adaptation of the young-adult, science-fiction, dystopian novel, “The Maze Runner,” alongside Will Poulter, Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario and Thomas Sangster.
