The series is finally back for season three, and actor Felix Mallard, who plays Marcus, says that he's excited for his character to show more depth. In the latest season, Marcus struggles with depression and veers into alcoholism. 'As an actor, that's exactly what you want – for your characters to go through high highs and low lows,' he told L'Officiel in a recent interview. 'I'm lucky that with Marcus we get to explore all of that. We go as deep as we can to reflect the uglier side of growing up when you don't have an anchor or guidance.'

Born in April 1998, the Australian actor has been modelling since he was scouted by an agency as a young teenager. Mallard, who had never previously considered acting as a career option, was sent to an audition for the long-running Australian soap Neighbours. He thought he wouldn't get the role, but Mallard was hired for a six-episode role and made his acting debut on the show in 2014, when he was just 15.

Harry Styles hand-picked the young actor to star in the CBS comedy series Happy Together, which aired in 2018. The show, executive produced by Styles, is loosely based on the English singer's life.
