Joe Locke is an actor best known for his role as Charlie Spring in Netflix's Heartstopper. The hit series was released in 2022, with a third season on the way in October of this year.

Heartstopper marked Locke's first screen role, and he is set to appear in the upcoming Disney Plus series Agatha, a spin-off from the titular character's original series, WandaVison.

"It's very pinch-me all the time, which is great," Locke said on the Just for Variety podcast. "But every night I'm like, 'What am I doing?' – in the best way."
