Born in Hammersmith, London in 1991, Regbo first began performing in school plays and after joining the Young Blood Theatre Company, travelled to India where he played a young soldier in military epic "Sharpe's Challenge" (ITV, 2006). In 2007, he appeared as American teen Chad Turner in an episode of children's spy adventure "M.I.
