Meet the Cast & Characters

Get the rundown on the stars of the series inspired by David Nicholls' novel, which characters they each play, memorable roles you may have seen them in before, and some exclusive cast interviews!

Tom Taylor as Albie Petersen

About the Character: Albie Petersen is the rebellious teenage son of Connie and Douglas who is trying to find himself while also dealing with his disintegrating, complicated, and messy family.

Fun Fact: Albie Petersen may love to play his guitar and carry it around with him, but before stepping into the role of Albie, Taylor had never played before! Now, he says he loves it — he can now proudly play (and sing!) Lily Allen’s song “Smile”.

Where You’ve Seen Him Before: Viewers may recognize Taylor from The Dark Tower as Jake, from The Last Kingdom as Young Uhtred, or from the TV series Doctor Foster: A Woman Scorned. Taylor is slated to star in the TV miniseries Close to Me.
