Early life
Discipline was born on 8 May 1989 in Gravesend, Kent.[1] [2] He became interested acting through working for a theatre lighting company while at school.[3]
Career
In November 2010, Discipline was working on Billingsgate Fish Market when he was informed by his agent of an audition for the part of Tyler Moon in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, the youngest son of already established character Eddie Moon (David Essex), brother of Anthony (Matt Lapinskas) and Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) and cousin of Alfie Moon (Shane Richie).[4] Following his initial audition, he took part in a workshop two weeks later in which there were six actors shortlisted to play Tyler and six shortlisted to play Anthony. The actors were paired off, and Discipline was paired with Lapinskas. A month later, Discipline attended a screen test, and after a further screen test, he found out he had got the part.[4] His casting was announced in May 2011 and he made his first on-screen appearance on 27 June 2011.[5] For his portrayal of Tyler, he won the award for Best Soap Newcomer at the TV Choice Awards in 2012.[6] [7] In June 2013, it was announced that Discipline would be leaving the soap after two years after his character was written out.[8] His final episode was broadcast on 6 August 2013.[9] Discipline has since expressed interest in returning to the show.[10]
Since his departure from EastEnders, Discipline has appeared in the short film Birds and Dogs (2016) and an episode of Murder in the Carpark (2020). In 2021, he appeared in the sci-fi film Override and The Drugs Game which was a self-biographical film of a former gangster's life in which he co-starred alongside his former EastEnders co-star Lapinksas.[11] [12] In 2024, he is set to appear in the film Dream Hacker as Harry Lucchese.[13]
Personal life
Outside of acting, Discipline works as a firefighter and is co-owner of a mobile cocktail bar.[14] [15] Discipline has a daughter, born in 2021.[16] [17]
