Lynch was born in Warwickshire to Irish actors Niamh Cusack and Finbar Lynch. He spent some of his childhood in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire and went to the local primary academy while his parents worked in Manchester.[1] They then moved to Barnes, South West London. Lynch attended Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith before going on to study classics at Somerville College, Oxford, graduating in 2017.[2] Originally interested in football, he became inspired to act by his cousin Max Irons and participated in stage productions during his time at university.[3][4]

Career

In his third and final year at Oxford, Lynch signed with an agent and appeared in Dunkirk. After graduating, he played Claudio in the Rose Theatre Kingston production of Much Ado About Nothing and Gordon Wilson, the son of the titular character played by Ruth Wilson in the BBC One miniseries Mrs Wilson.[5] That same year, Lynch had a guest role as John-Paul O'Reilly in an episode of the Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls.[6] He appeared in Wife at the Kiln Theatre in 2019.[7]

Lynch starred in the 2020 adaptation of Black Beauty opposite Mackenzie Foy, which was released on Disney+.[8] He played Stephen Tennant in the Terence Davies-directed biographical film Benediction followed by the role of Theo Sharpe in season 2 of the Netflix period drama Bridgerton.[9] He portrayed young Cary Grant in the ITV miniseries Archie.[10] In 2022, it was announced that Lynch will appear in a recurring role in the second season of the Amazon Prime Video fantasy series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.[11]

The following year, 2023, Lynch was cast as AJ in the Sky Atlantic dark comedy series Sweetpea[12] and as Tom Fowle in Miss Austen.[13] He went on to play Bryan Guinness in the television series Outrageous that premiered on BritBox in 2025.[14] He played Max in the BAFTA Television Awards nominated series What It Feels Like for a Girl.[15]

In March 2026, Lynch was announced to portray Brian Epstein in Please Please Me, an original play by Tom Wright, staged at the Kiln Theatre.[16] This is Lynch's first lead role in a theatre production and he received widespread acclaim for his moving and charismatic portrayal of Epstein.[17][18][19][20]
