Early life and education

Carvel was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his performance in Parade in 2008.

This performance won him a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play.

In 2022 he returned to The Old Vic to play US President Donald Trump in The 47th, a new play by Mike Bartlett.
